NYU's Big Buy of Wind Power RECs

NYU has committed to buy 118 million kWh of renewable energy credits (RECs) from Community Energy, Inc. University President John Sexton was inspired by the Clinton Global Initiative conference to make what is called the 11th largest purchase of RECs yet. NYU Executive VP was quoted as saying that:
"Cities and universities share an important characteristic -- they are the places that draw in mankind to confront, contemplate, and address our most pressing challenges. It is in that spirit that we take this step." RenewableEnergyAccess.com | NYU Makes Largest Wind Power REC Purchase by a University
