2021 New York Laws PBA - Public Authorities Article 8 - Miscellaneous Authorities Title 9 - New York State Energy Research and Development Authority 1875 - Legislative Findings and Declaration of Intent.

§   1875.   Legislative   findings  and  declaration  of  intent.  The   legislature hereby finds  and  declares  that  energy  is  essential  to   maintain  the  industrial  vitality  of  New York state. The legislature   further finds that, because of the  state's  limited  indigenous  energy   resource,  efficient  energy  use  is  especially crucial to sustain its   competitive posture.The legislature finds that  many  of  the  issues  related  to  energy   efficiency  in  industry are associated with high temperature operations   and  that  insufficient  research  has  been   conducted   to   discover   technologies to increase the efficiency of these operations.The  legislature  therefore  declares that a coherent research program   focused on high temperature technology be established under the auspices   of the authority within a major university of the state. The legislature   further declares that such program shall further the energy conservation   objectives  of  the  state  and  is  an  appropriate  use  of  petroleum   overcharge restitution funds.

§   1880.   Legislative   findings  and  declaration  of  intent.  The   legislature  hereby  finds  that  improvement  in  the   efficiency   of   electrical  transmission  will enable utilities to conserve fossil fuel,   including imported oil,  by  increasing  the  capacity  of  transmission   lines.  The  legislature  further  finds  that experiments in high phase   order electric transmission indicate that transmission efficiency may be   able to be increased by over seventy percent  and  that,  if  practical,   will  reduce  the  need  to  construct  new rights of way, produce lower   electric and magnetic fields, less radio and television interference  at   less  cost  and environmental impact. The legislature therefore declares   that high phase  order  technology  be  tested  under  actual  operating   conditions.
