One thing I'll say about our Mayor, whether you agree with his policies or not, it feels like every day he's doing something to improve life in NY in the short and long run. Today Mayor Bloomberg introduced a new green energy program in NY providing for solar and hydro energy production:
"The city will officially solicit bids this fall from private solar developers to build, own, operate and maintain solar panels on 20 to 50 city-owned buildings as part of a pilot program aimed at promoting the use of solar energy, Bloomberg said yesterday.
"The city will agree to buy electricity from the winning bidder over a 20-year period, officials said. A year after the pilot program starts, the city will determine whether the program should be expanded."
Could Mayor Mike be the most progressive Republican since Abe Lincoln? Debatable, but he certainly seems like the most progressive of our generation.
