Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center Groundbreaking

摘要

On October 16, groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center to be built in Stony Brook University's Research and Development Park next to the campus in Long Island, New York. Construction is expected to take about two years. The center will be a research facility created to develop alternative-energy sources and protect natural resources by taking advantage of cutting-edge technologies. It is supported by $35 million in New York State Senate funding. The alternative-energy sources include solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells, geothermal, biomass, and nanotechnology.
