Alternative fuel car making stop on campus

Honda's latest alternative fuel vehicle – the FCX hydrogen-powered fuel cell car -- will be on display Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the F.W. Olin Center.

Barry Carr, vice president of alternative fuels for Homeland Energy Resources Development Inc., will discuss the use of alternative fuel vehicles. Lawrence D'Arco, environmental specialist with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, will give an overview of state initiatives involving clean cars.

Last fall, Gov. George Pataki announced the state's lease of two of the Honda vehicles, adding to the state's growing fleet of alternative fuel vehicles.

The event is sponsored by the Capital Region Association of Energy Engineers, Union College and the Graduate College of Union University.

The presentation will include a light dinner. Tickets are $10 for members of the Capital Region Association of Energy Engineers, $15 for non-members and $5 for students. To register, call Todd Baldyga of NYSERDA at 862-1090 or email tab@nyserda.com.
