On January 13, 2010, the Stony Brook University Small Business Development Center held the second in a series of workshops on alternative energy as part of it's NYSERDA funded Energy Company Initiative. The focus of the workshop was on Geothermal energy. The slides from Tony Penaccio of GeoEnergy Enterprises are HERE and, the slides of Dr. Thomas Watson of Brookhaven National Laboratories are HERE . The size of the file of slides from Brian DeLuca of Atlantis Marine World were too large to upload here. We will post them after we break up the presentation into two smaller files.
Once again we would like to thank Bethpage Federal Credit Union for their generous support in sponsoring this and future workshops in this series

Paterson Announces Funding for Renewable Energy Projects
Renewable Energy Funding in NY
Governor David A. Paterson today announced that the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), in conjunction with the Public Service Commission (PSC), will provide nearly $300 million for renewable energy projects under the Renewable Portfolio Standard Program (RPS), which will help accelerate the development of New York’s clean energy economy. With these awards, New York continues to invest in clean energy to achieve Governor Paterson’s goal of meeting 45 percent of the State’s energy needs through energy efficiency and renewable energy by 2015.

Hybrid Solar Panels
Hybrid Solar Panels Combine Photovoltaics with Thermoelectricity: Scientific American:
The DOE awarded Weidlinger Associates, a New York City-based structural engineering firm, a $150,000 grant earlier this month (matched by a 10-percent commitment from the state) to develop durable hybrid solar roofing panels with integrated photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric materials that harvest the sun's energy to produce both electricity and hot water for buildings.
The water tubes are crucial to the design. Typically, when photovoltaics heat up they begin to lose their efficiency at normal operating temperatures in a sunny environment, says Greg Kelly, Weidlinger's director of sustainable design. The design created by Huiming Yin, an assistant professor of civil engineering and engineering mechanics at Columbia, incorporates a capacity to cool down the photovoltaics while also heating water for use in the building to which the panels are attached.

Long Island Winery breaks ground on Wind Turbine Installation
Long Island Winery breaks ground on Wind Turbine Installation :
With the help of the Long Island Power Association’s Backyard Wind Initiative rebate, Osprey’s Dominion will become the first vineyard on Long Island to produce wine using wind power.
Eastern Energy Systems will be installing a ReDriven 20 kW wind turbine at the site. The turbine is expected to produce an estimated 42,802 kWh of electricity per year for an annual energy savings of $7,918.
Eastern Energy Systems is a participant in the Stony Brook Energy Company Initiative.
