Key Capture Energy proposes to build a 60 megawatt lithium-ion battery storage system on Depot Lane in Cutchogue, smack in the middle of farmland, vineyards and homes. We support renewable energy but the “green belt” of Oregon Road which is enjoyed by so many people is a terrible idea. Our volunteer firefighters would not be prepared for a runaway thermal event that could burn for days, unleash toxic fumes and contaminate groundwater. Moreover, this huge facility would at best provide just hours of energy and not even specifically for our area. The loss of vistas, lights burning all night from huge poles and overhead wires will be a blight. 

ZBA is poised to grant a variance this Thursday, December 1st which would allow the project to proceed. Please sign this petition to show the Town that this project does not belong here.
