On December 9, 2009, the Stony Brook University Small Business Development Center held the first in a series of workshops on alternative energy as part of it's NYSERDA funded Energy Company Initiative. The workshop focus was on Hydrogen Power. The speakers, Dr. Robert Remick, Director of the Hydrogen Technologies Center at NREL in Colorado, and Mr. Stephan Symanski, Business Development Manager of Proton Energy Systems in Connecticut graciously agreed to allow us to post their power point slides on this blog. Dr. Remick's are here(1) and here(2), and Mr. Symanski's are here.
We also want to thank Bethpage Federal Credit Union for their generous support in sponsoring this and future workshops in this series.

Viable Alternatives to Fossil Fuels
Viable Alternatives to Fossil Fuels Still Decades Away
As the Climate Change talks get underway in Copenhagen this week, there is much attention focused on alternative energy sources that produce little or no greenhouse gas pollution. Some of these energy sources - like wind, solar, biomass and geothermal - are also attractive because they are renewable and offset the need for imported oil, gas or coal. But, it will be a long time before any of these energy sources will be a large-scale alternative to fossil fuels.

Great Lakes Wind Project
The Associated Press: NY seeking developer for Great Lakes wind project:
"New York state is looking for developers to build and operate wind turbines in the Great Lakes as part of a plan to use more renewable energy. The New York Power Authority on Tuesday invited potential developers to submit proposals for offshore wind projects in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The authority plans to award one or more projects a year from now. The offshore turbines would be the first for New York and among the first in North America, depending on when they get up and running."
