Correct: NYSERDA vs Energy Planning Board

So sorry for my confusion between the
NY Energy Board and NYSERDA.

Here is correct information:

1: NYSERDA is a NY "public benefit corporation"
formed in 1975. This is a special kind of Not For Profit
corporation which has closer ties to the government, than

an ordinary charity.

Examples are corporations established to operate

bridges, port authoritys, toll roads, municipal power

generation, and local development corporations,

and public housing authorities.

Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_state_public-benefit_corporations

NYSERDA's charter is "aimed at helping New Yorkers increase
energy efficiency, save money,  use renewable energy,
and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels"

Ref 1: http://www.nyserda.ny.gov/About
Ref 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Energy_Research_and_Development_Authority

2: The NY Energy Board was appointed by Governor Cuomo

to produce the NY Energy Plan.

Ref 1: http://www.dps.ny.gov/State_Plan.html
Ref 2: http://energyplan.ny.gov/The-Board/Board-Members

3:  The head of NYSERDA is chair of the Energy Board.

4: The recent meeting just happened to be held at
NYSERDA's offices in Albany.

I sent out something previously about the

NYSERDA No-Show. This is innaccurate.

It was really the NY Energy Planning Board No-Show.

I have a corrected link to send around for the

video playlist of the press conference on Monday.

Again, sorry for sending out bogus info.

Despite rumors that I am a purveyor of

"hysterical misinformation",
I really strive to get the facts right.

Video clips from Monday's NYSERDA Press Conference in Albany now uploaded to YouTube by Heriberto (Eddie) Rodriguez.  

Terrific work from Eddie as usual.  

Have a look when you get a chance. 

The speakers in these video clips detail why NYSERDA's Energy Plan is a big deal regarding the future of frack gas infrastructure in NY State and beyond, as well as how these decision will shape New York State's energy future.
