Bulldozing the Albany Pine Bush 📍

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique,
And a swinging hot spot.
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em.

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

NYSERDA’s Green Building

|

Never mind it's in Albany Pine Bush, the building is green, as it has solar panels on it! Of course, there is no direct bus service here, so almost all of NYSERDA's employees have to drive in privately owned cars that guzzle fuel to get to work. Maybe they drive hybrids!

NYSERDA in the Pine Bush

|

Back as recently as 1995, this was still Albany Pine Bush. Now it's home to the NYSERDA, the NY State Energy Research and Development Agency, that tacks taxes on everybody's energy bills, so they can have money to lease space in Albany Pine Bush, and talk about sustainable energy use, while consuming lots of it.
