Uniondale, NY—May 22, 2007— The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA)

“Long Island needs to move away from its heavy
dependence on fossil fuel-generated electricity for a
variety of reasons, not the least of which is to clean the
air with lower power plant
emissions,” said LIPA CEO/President Richard M. Kessel.
