"Our partners from the solar industry and environmental advocacy have worked very hard to develop a policy that will create good jobs and more investment in solar power," said Denis Hughes, former President of the New York State AFL-CIO. "This policy will create real jobs, pay prevailing rate where appropriate and will be critical for helping our economy recover. We support solar power as part of a comprehensive energy policy and we have the workforce that is qualified and trained to implement this policy right now. We need help from the leadership in Albany to get started."
