ENERGY POLICY:
National Academies Make Case for Sustainable Growth
Eli Kintisch
A report released this week by dozens of the world's national science
academies recommends using energy more efficiently, putting a price on carbon
emissions, and developing green energy sources.
See the journal Science, October 26, 2007, Volume 318, Issue 5850.
Let me suggest that you visit the following web site, and submit your support
for incorporating the above referenced studies into the WV Energy
Opportunities
Plan [EOP]. Comments can be submitted electronically until the end of
October,
i.e. Wednesday of next week. If you do it now, you won't forget.
I have requested that WV develop a plan that reduces carbon dioxide emissions
state-wide by 2% per year, which would be reasonably easy to achieve and to
sustain, if a plan and commitment were made to do so.

The Mid-Atlantic Concerned Citizens Energy Coalition (MACCEC) is an
established but expanding network of individuals and organizations within our
eight-state region. Our mission is to educate citizens about electricity issues and
to motivate them to take actions that will create policies and support
solutions appropriate for the 21st century.
Please visit the MACCEC website (still a work in progress) at
_www.maccec.org_ (http://www.maccec.org/)
Email your comments and suggestions, e.g., links you would like to see
posted in Electric Energy Information for your state or More NIET Corridor News
for your state. Forward this email to others who may be interested in providing
input.
This Mid-Atlantic area coalition supports 21st century energy solutions and
opposes the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) recently designated Mid-Atlantic
Area National Corridor. It is our belief that networking on a regional basis
will offer concerned citizens ongoing opportunities to make a difference
together.
