Lieutenant Governor David A. Paterson, Chairman of the State’s Renewable Energy Task Force, today announced 16 Task Force recommendations as part of a roadmap to significantly increase renewable energy generation in New York. These first recommendations include more solar energy production funding the state’s program to get 25 percent of New York's electricity from renewable energy by 2013 and new business incentives targeted to attract renewable energy producers and expand the State’s “green collar” workforce.

NOTE what was not reported in the press: "Best moment of the press conference was when the 5-foot tall working model GE wind turbine (plugged into the wall to run) threw a blade to the floor with a loud crash and rotated to a stop just before the press conference began. Lt. Governor and NYSERDA staff rushed across the room, panicked, to diagnose and attempt the fix - they left it unplugged and off for the press conference."
