Energy Development and Distribution

Description: 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. Energy conservation programs be sustained, introduced or stepped up to stabilize or even reduce consumption levels, thereby reducing ecologically harmful emissions, and/or ecological risks associated with storage and transportation of spent fuels from nuclear
reactors; and

2. A policy of industrial cogeneration be implenented in industrial planning to allow multiple uses of energy sources for greatest efficiency; and

3. Pricing structures be reformed so as to reward conservation vation in energy use, rather than penalize restraint of uee; and

4. Research seek an optimum combination of energy resources for ecosystem protection, not just coat efficiency; and

5. We accelerate the decommissioning of problematic nuclear facilities; and

6. We pursue planning for maximizing local consumption'of locally generated energy to minimize the proliferation of land use for distribution corridors and terminate leases on abandoned corridors; and

7. Finally, we sustain public education programs directed toward approval and support of the above.
