2023 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.

§  1877. Purposes of the high temperature technology research program.
  The purpose of  the  program  shall  be  to  enhance  industrial  energy
  efficiency  pertaining to high temperature operations. In developing the
  program, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute  shall  conduct,  support  and
  monitor high temperature technology research which addresses one or more
  of the following technical subjects:
1. high temperature lubrication;
2. high temperature materials and structures;
3. high temperature energy transfer and conversion;
4. high temperature materials processing; and
5. use of expert systems in high temperature technology.

§   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.
