Congratulations to Suffolk County, NY and LIPA as they launch their partnership for 7 carports made of solar panels. Today was the groundbreaking for the first one, located at the Brentwood train station. A win for the environment and local jobs– good stuff. Attended by County Executive Steve Levy, former CEO of LIPA Kevin Law, Town Supervisor Nolan, Assemblyman Ramos, Legislator Vivian Fisher, the LIRR, Gordian Raacke of Renewable Energy LI and Adrienne Esposito of Citizens Campaign for the Environment. The best part: NY State Governor Paterson was there, and I got to speak to him afterwards! He grew up near Molloy College. :  )

A good day for Long Island….
