<span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;letter-spacing:.4pt">LIU is likely to benefit from significant new goals set by New York State, including a dramatic expansion in offshore wind. New York’s plan could place Long Island at the forefront
of a new offshore wind industry. Eventually, these regional investments will significantly reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions from the electric grid. LIU should develop complementary strategies for reducing its greenhouse gases from heating and transportation
systems. LIU should also consider the impacts generated from other campus operations such as food services. Many universities have also divested their stock portfolios from fossil fuel industries, anticipating that these industries may not be good long-term
investments. The following information suggests that New York may increase its investments in renewables by as much as $1 billion dollars in 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
