Kennedy: Make New York the solar hub for the East Coast

Newsday

Albany lawmakers are on the verge of passing solar legislation that promises to allow New Yorkers to lower their energy bills, deliver billions of dollars in economic investment, create thousands of new local job opportunities, modernize New York’s aging power infrastructure, and ensure a reliable clean energy supply in the state for generations to come. There’s strong bipartisan support for this bill, but precious little time remains on the state legislative calendar to enact the New York Solar Bill before lawmakers adjourn for the summer. So they must act fast.
