Recently the NW Power and Conservation Council released their "blueprint"  for managing the region's energy/environmental issues.  Their unanimous recommendations call for  aggressive conservation/efficiency solutions, an approach that has received scant attention in the quest to meet our burgeoning energy demands.  They project that we can reduce energy demands by 85%  thru conservation/efficiency methods with the remaining  15% accommodated  with appropriate new technology.   This is an astounding and I believe achievable goal.   I suggest that you might include spokesmen from the Council, legislators, gov. office etc. to further bring these findings out for public awareness and discussion.
