New York-owned ski resorts to go renewable
By Antonio Olivero, Adirondack Daily Enterprise
New York’s state-owned ski resorts will use 100 percent renewable energy by 2030, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday.
Along with Whiteface, other ski resorts operated by the state Olympic Regional Development Authority — Belleayre Ski Resort in the Catskills and Gore Mountain in North Creek — have pledged to be part of the Climate Reality Project’s “I Am Pro Snow” campaign.
The governor’s office is touting that this initiative is part of Cuomo’s Clean Energy Standard, which intends, by 2030, to have half of electricity used in the state to come from renewable sources.
