US ski resorts commit to renewable energy
The three New York State run ski resorts will switch completely to renewable energy by 2030.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office said Belleayre Ski Resort, Gore Mountain, and Whiteface Mountain Resort have pledged to use only renewable energy by signing up to the Climate Reality Project I AM PRO SNOW 100%.
"Belleayre, Gore and Whiteface are key drivers of their local tourism economies, and with this commitment they are joining New York’s nation-leading efforts to fight climate change, reduce our carbon footprint and foster the development of renewable resources," Governor Cuomo said in a release
"This commitment to New York’s future, along with landmark new state investments in these facilities, will help ensure these resorts’ continued vitality for generations to come."
It is part of Cuomo’s Clean Energy Standard, which has set an ambitious target of using renewable sources for half of the state’s energy needs by 2030.
The Climate Reality Project was established by former vice president Al Gore.
"As leaders in the ski industry, it is our responsibility to be stewards of the environment," said Mike Pratt, of the New York Olympic regional development authority.
