The town hall building in Hempstead, Long Island, may seem pretty unremarkable at first sight. A big cube-like structure, with rows of glass windows, the building displays just the right amount of authority as the seat of local power. But a closer look at its rooftop reveals lines of shining solar panels, their blue cells merrily processing the sun’s bounty. With one of the highest electricity rates in the country, Long Island should be a prime location for the development of renewable energy. Watch the video interview with Town Supervisor Kate Murray and learn more about what Hempstead, America's largest township, is doing to promote clean, green power. Also, check out Leading the Way, an annual report on Long Island’s municipal adoption of renewable energy. Less
