Republishing my project of Site Suitability Analysis for Wind Farms in California, this project leverages a GIS multi-criteria approach to identify areas with the highest potential for wind energy production. California is a leader in renewable energy, and wind power plays a crucial role. By strategically placing wind farms, we can maximize energy output while minimizing environmental and social impacts. This project explores factors like: -Wind speed and consistency at a certain height (> 7.5 m/s) at 80 m above the ground. -Land cover and topography. -Proximity to existing infrastructure. -Environmental considerations. Benefits of this approach: -Increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness of wind farm development. -Reduced environmental impact. -Contribution to California's ambitious renewable energy goals. #GIS #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #California #Sustainability #SpatialAnalysis

A recent poll shows that most Golden State voters are comfortable with renewable energy projects in their communities, including wind turbines and solar farms. This demonstrates strong public support for clean energy infrastructure, but it also highlights to me the need to address specific opposition to ensure equitable access to renewable energy and combat environmental injustice. #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction

Solar and wind have a significant role to play in energy policy, but if we override local zoning authorities, we risk losing the pulse on what communities support. Ultimately, this will not lead to the most efficient resource allocation.

Anyone feel like their zoning authority is being run over? The Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act in New York overrides local zoning authorities by allowing the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) to preempt local laws if they are deemed "unreasonably burdensome" to renewable energy projects. This means that ORES can set aside local zoning ordinances that hinder the development of large-scale renewable energy facilities, streamlining the approval process and ensuring that state-level renewable energy goals can be met efficiently. Perhaps a reaction to the increased level of resistance to large-scale solar and wind facilities. Robert Bryce - a thoughtful energy commentator for decades - writes about this in the attached article. Zoning authorities are the most distributed and local forum in which communities can work out how they want to participate in the energy transition. If we are going to allocate resources in the most ‘sustainable’ way, we need to pay attention to what communities want and are prepared to support

The Colorado Renewable Energy Siting Coalition, consisting of six environmental groups, has expressed support for a new study bill aimed at assessing the processes for siting utility-scale renewable energy projects and their impacts on wildlife and communities. Sponsored by state Sen. Chris Hansen and Senate President Steve Fenberg, SB24-212 mandates the Colorado Energy Office, in collaboration with state departments, to establish model codes and ordinances for renewable energy projects. Additionally, it tasks Colorado Parks and Wildlife with creating high-priority habitat maps and best management practices tailored to the impacts of renewable energy technologies. https://lnkd.in/gPfRvV9Y #ColoradoRenewableEnergy #RenewableEnergySiting #EnvironmentalImpact #WildlifeProtection #CommunityEngagement #Sustainability #EnergyPolicy
