NYSERDA partnered with the Clean Communities of Western New York, Genesee Region Clean Communities, Clean Communities of Central New York, Capital District Clean Communities, and the New York City and Lower Hudson Valley Clean Communities organizations to compile and submit one competitive proposal to the DOE for alternative fuel vehicle and infrastructure development funds.
Funds were awarded for vehicles for utility companies, local and county governments, school districts, universities and other private companies. In addition, various advanced vehicle technologies were included in the application, such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid propane gas (LPG), electric vehicles (EV) and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV), hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV). The vehicles will be deployed throughout the State and will provide data to NYSERDA and the DOE on how these technologies operate in diverse driving and weather conditions.

Electric Taylor Truck: Cleaner Air for Communities

April 29, 2011 No Comments

“I would like to see all of the companies running at least some electric trucks. The technology exists and it works.” –Ed Taylor, Down East Seafood
This month, NYCLHVCC would like to spotlight one of our most generous and innovative stakeholders, Down East Seafood. Down East Seafood is a fish distribution company owned by Edward Taylor and located in Hunts Point, Bronx. In addition to being committed to delivering quality, fresh fish daily, Ed Taylor and Down East Seafood are committed to making their deliveries with the smallest carbon footprint possible. Ed Taylor describes the need to go green when saying, “Shortly after our move, it became clear that Hunts Point is a community. Sure there are trucks coming in and out, but there are also children. Children that by no fault of their own are in an area that have heavy truck traffic. Trucks that attribute to the fact that the children of the Bronx have an asthma rate 7 times the national average. When an opportunity arose to be able to do something for the neighborhood that has become our home, we jumped.”

NYCLHVCC had a busy Fall 2010 and Spring 2011! They started their own Electric Vehicle series with a Ride-and-Drive event at New York Power Authority highlighting the Azure/Ford Transit Connect. At this event, NYCLHVCC highlighted the importance of EVs followed by test drives of the new Azure/Ford Transit Connect.
One of the exciting opportunities presented was that NYCLHVCC was chosen as the NAFTC’s National Kickoff site for Odyssey Day 2010!
NYCLHVCC’s Odyssey Day 2010 consisted of a presentation of more than 25 alternative fuel vehicles ranging from small to heavy duty vehicles; keynote speaker and environmentalist Josh Tickell; and reaching over 500 participants in outreach activities. Following Odyssey Day was NYCLHVCC’s 2010 first of three EV Symposium series, during which participants and fleet managers gathered to learn more about electric vehicles, charging infrastructures, and funding opportunities.

Treehugger: Google Earth Maps Out At-Risk Populations Around Nuclear Power Plants

April 29, 2011 No Comments

If a nuclear power plant in the US were to have issues, who would be affected? In a partnership between Nature News and Columbia University, we now have a Google map that tells us the population sizes around plants so we can easily scan and see the number of people that could be affected should anything occur at the plants.
The team Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) database run by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and Columbia University’s NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center to map out in an easy-to-read way, the location and size of nuclear power plants as well as population numbers around those plants.
On the map, population sizes are illustrated with circle size as well as color. Green circles represent less than 500,000 people and on the other side of the scale, red circles represent populations of over 20 million.

Suffolk University Makes the Grade as “Green College”

April 29, 2011 No Comments

The Princeton Review has again included Suffolk University in its guide to the nation’s most environmentally responsible colleges, citing Suffolk’s “green-minded education” and its sound sustainable practices.
The Princeton Review’s Guide to 311 Green Colleges, created in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, profiles those institutions that demonstrate notable commitments to sustainability in their academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation. The Princeton Review surveyed hundreds of colleges across North America, asking administrators about their institutions’ green policies, practices and programs.
“Sustainability efforts have become a way of life at Suffolk University as we attend to environmental issues in the classroom, through outreach to faculty and staff, and by revamping our infrastructure,” said Marguerite Dennis, vice president for Enrollment and International Programs.
