NYC Comptroller Proposes Solar and Battery Storage on City-Owned Properties to Enhance Energy Resilience

New York City Comptroller Mark Levine has released a report advocating for the installation of solar panels and battery storage on city-owned rooftops and parking lots. The report suggests that utilizing these spaces could reduce peak energy demand, decrease reliance on fossil-fuel 'peaker' plants, and delay costly infrastructure upgrades. The proposal comes amid a period of high energy demand and localized outages due to heat waves. Levine's report highlights several city-owned properties as potential sites for solar and storage projects, emphasizing the need for a coordinated approach to attract investment and lower costs.

Trump Approves U.S.-Saudi Nuclear Deal Without 'Gold Standard' Constraints

President Trump has approved a landmark nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, allowing the kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear program.
