During a July 2-3 visit to Niagara and Buffalo, New York, the New York Foreign Press Center arranged for correspondents from China, Vietnam, and South Korea to visit the United States’ third largest hydropower plant (Niagara is the largest electricity producer in New York state). The journalists also visited a Niagara-powered local steel company and the University of Buffalo, whose campus apartments run on solar panels. In addition, media had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Brian Higgins, a champion of renewable energy growth in his New York district.
