"The article discusses the proposed policies for renewable energy in the U.S. The proposed policy is made in response to New York City Michael R. Bloomberg's proposal of putting wind turbines on the tops of skyscrapers and bridges across the city. The Alliance for Clean Energy New York describes New York as a solar city of the country.
