Energy producers are not required to file actual energy production figures for their plant, but are required to file hourly financial transaction information with FERC ["The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is an independent regulatory agency within the Department of Energy that, among other energy-related tasks, licenses and inspects private, municipal and state hydroelectric projects."].

Boy, I have to add Monroe county to our list now. Anyway, welcome to the Hamlin Preservation Group -- http://hamlin.livinginnewyork.org -- folks commenting on a proposed installation of turbines near Hamlin Beach State Park.

What I understand about this project: the turbines are to be placed on land near the park - not out over the water. There are whole great gobs of implications there. Hope that this community can help you sort things out.

Or maybe smaller. I almost laughed when I saw this. They're very good at taking photos like this. What is not clear is that the turbine is quite a bit farther back from the house and the windmill.

Those boxes near the turbine are, I think, double-stacked shipping containers, which would reach the house roof if they sat right next to it. Imagine the house that small and you're getting closer...
