Posted on May 23, 2012 by AJSantino

[font size=3]With a high-powered wind turbine at the Department of Conservation and Waterways, the Town of Hempstead has blown past the 100,000-kilowatt hour mark, generating over 128,000 kilowatt hours in just 24 weeks. The wind turbine, erected in December 2011, currently provides power to Long Island’s only hydrogen fueling station.

This amazing accomplishment confirms Supervisor Kate Murray and Senior Councilman Anthony J. Santino’s vision that the answer to clean, renewable energy is truly “blowin’ in the wind.”

Sitting behind the wheel of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered town vehicle – the fuel created as the result of the wind turbine powering the town’s water-to-hydrogen conversion process – Murray drove through a “finish line” banner marking the passing of 125,000 kilowatt hours.

Joining the Town at the ceremony to mark this green accomplishment were representatives from the wind turbine’s manufacturer, Northern Power Systems; and installer, Aegis Wind. The town also welcomed the United States Department of Energy, Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), Renewable Energy LI, EmPower Solar, Wilke Engineering, the Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition, the Lido Beach and Point Lookout Civic Associations and the Point Lookout-Lido Fire Department.

1. Just goes to show that it CAN be done if only...

...the oil, coal, and gas conglomerates didn't have such a stranglehold on state and fed governments, who feel they must kowtow to them to get the financial donations.
