This conference focused on sustainable policies, practices and financial initiatives, particularly impacting solar, wind, and geothermal energy.
New York State assemblyman Kevin Cahill, opened the conference with some words about Green Jobs/Green New York program that Cahill championed as the energy chair of the Assembly. “Giving consumers the ability to finance energy-saving projects through their utility bills will present huge job-creation opportunities by opening up whole new markets for employers in the building improvement business,” said Cahill.
