From the States: N.Y. launches fuel reserve, backup power program

摘要

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) just launched two major Fuel NY programs - the Portable Emergency Generator Program and the State Strategic Gasoline Reserve. Both initiatives are designed to boost availability of fuel during emergencies. As a direct response to the gasoline disruptions that occurred during Sandy, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) launched the Fuel NY initiative to address both the loss of power at gasoline station pumps and fuel distribution problems. Fuel NY includes some of the nation's strongest gas station backup power requirements and the first-in-the nation State Strategic Gasoline Reserve, NYSERDA said.
