WINDMILLS TO TOWER NEW YORK

 Billionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg will push his bold new plan for a
greener New York that includes placing giant wind generators on top of
the city's skyscrapers, rooftop solar panels and geothermal power.

Associates of the outspoken mayor, who has called for urgent action to
solve the US energy crisis, told Daily Planet Media that Bloomberg was
"very serious" about all details of the green plan that also involves
harnessing the tides of Hudson River that front NY to generate mroe
renewable power.

Bloomberg intends that his radical measures will be on the fast track
well before he completes his second and final term of office in
January 2010.

Delivered in Las Vegas at the 2008 National Clean Energy Summit
Bloomberg's green plan involves a "corruption free" carbon tax. The
mayor opposes a cap-and-trade system describing such measures as
"taking three right turns instead of one left." He will also push
private building owners into conserving electricity.

New laws and regulations will require cost-effective retrofits for all
existing large buildings.

Bloomberg estimates that for the US to produce 20 percent of
electricity by 2030 with wind power the cost will be about $60 billion
on transmission infrastructure.

Companies will have until September 19 to submit innovative proposals
toward the broad goal of making New York greener by 2030.
