We recently discussed the general idea of branding and developing upstate New York as a "Silicon Valley" for alternative energy production. There was a variety of interest on this subject, and I'd like to develop this issue further. Specifically, Robinia mentioned dividing upstate regions to develop specialties for different upstate cities and rural areas. Such a plan would be tangible to elected officials and allow New York to present a unified front. We can then lobby the Obama administration for federal dollars to get the ball rolling.
It seems to me that we should look at production already occurring in these areas, figure out the major specialties, and push those areas for each region. So let's look at a logical division.

One of, if not the best idea I've heard about bringing economic development and prosperity to upstate New York is the creation of a "silicon valley" for alternative energy production. Part of the idea mimics the North Carolina research triangle; linking research with strong universities. There's no reason that the Syracuse-Rochester-Buffalo-Binghamton-Ithaca triangle can't provide massive research opportunities. That area includes such schools as Syracuse U, Cornell, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, RIT, RPI, and many, many more.
