Insurer Can t Pass The Buck In $100M Tornado Damage Battle
Law360 (May 19, 2021, 10:40 PM EDT) A New York federal judge on Wednesday dropped an insurance company s claims that its broker and glass manufacturer Pilkington s Japanese parent company should foot the bill if the insurer has to shell out more than the $15 million it has already paid for tornado damage to Pilkington s Illinois facility.
U.S. District Judge John F. Keenan tossed Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co. of America s third-party claims against Pilkington North America Inc. parent Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Ltd. and insurance broker Aon UK Ltd. in the sprawling dispute, in which Pilkington is seeking to force MSI to pay up to $85 million more for the.

As part of an effort to help address America s and the world s needs for clean energy, the Wright Center for Photovoltaics at The University of Toledo (UToledo), Colorado State University (CSU) and the U.S. Department of Energy s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have teamed with U.S.-based companies to form the U.S. Manufacturing of Advanced Cadmium Telluride (US-MAC) photovoltaics consortium.
Cadmium telluride (CdTe, also known as CadTel ) is a next-generation photovoltaic (PV) semiconductor technology with potential for continued improvements in cost and performance. Made from mining byproducts, CdTe powers high-efficiency, energy advantaged and commercially competitive solar modules that offer the lowest carbon footprint of any commercially available PV solar technology available today.

To help address the world’s need for clean energy, Colorado State University, the Wright Center for Photovoltaics at the University of Toledo, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have teamed with U.S.-based companies to form the U.S. Manufacturing of Advanced Cadmium Telluride (US-MAC) photovoltaics consortium.
Jim Sites, professor in the CSU Department of Physics who serves on the consortium’s three-member executive committee, has spent the last several decades leading research in the characterization and performance of solar cells made from cadmium telluride. He works closely with W.S. Sampath, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and together they have formed a powerful research collaboration at CSU that has pushed the boundaries of cadmium telluride, or CdTe, technology, supported by millions in federal grants.
