New York State on November twelve announced $206 million in awards to 4 large-scale clean energy projects, including 2 large wind energy farms, a large new hydroelectric plan and a small hydroelectric upgrade to an existing dam. All 4 plans will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the resiliency of New York's energy infrastructure.

Once operational, the 4 plans will add approximately 164 megawatts of new renewable capacity, which will provide about 450,000 megawatt-hours per year of clean renewable energy to New York-enough energy to supply in excess of 60,000 average-sized homes per year. See the New York news release.

Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 lbs in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
