Hillary Rodham Clinton Monday at NRG Energy’s Huntley Station. Clinton announced introduction of legislation to wean the U.S. from its reliance on foreign oil and to fund research for new clean-coal technology. Joining the conversation are Joe Schmitt, left, plant manager at Huntley, which is scheduled for an upgrade as one of a handful of clean coal facilities on the drawing boards, and Kevin Long of Local 97, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. In his comments during a press conference, Stenger discussed UB’s longstanding commitment to energy conservation and the celebration this semester of UB’s environmental commitment under the theme "A Greener Shade of Blue." |
