HTN: Paterson in Buffalo Talking Solar Power

With a goal of making New York the country's second largest producer of solar power, Governor David Paterson today announces that the state's two power authorities will buy as much as 150 megawatts of solar power. Paterson appears at a conference on solar power taking place at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center. The governor's office says the plan will result in a new source of energy and a new source of employment with the creation of some 50-thousand jobs. Paterson says his goal is having New York getting 45 percent of its electrical power via energy efficiency and using clear renewable sources by the year 2015.
