New York schools

New York Governor has signed into law a bill sponsored by State Senator Peter Harckham and Assembly member that supports solar energy projects at schools. The measure makes it easier for school districts to develop solar installations, expanding renewable energy use on public school property. The signing is being reported by the New York State Senate as part of the state's push toward clean energy in public buildings.

New York City is moving ahead with electric school buses, a project highlighted by Canary Media. Supporters point out that school buses are an ideal early use case for large electric vehicles: they run fixed routes twice a day and can recharge between morning and afternoon runs. Commenters say they were unaware such projects were already underway.
