Energy has come to shape and power in our technological society. It is the basis of huge
industries with vast global financial and political power. The development of a comprehen-sive
state energy policy is an innovative and essential element in good public policy making.
The evolution of Energy Policy in Arizona: A Plan for Sustainable Developmentwas possible
only with the help of many individuals.
My thanks are extended to Jenny Norton of the Arizona House of Representatives for the
vision, interest and continuous support that caused this committee to be created and to
complete its task on schedule. At Jenny's insistence, the committee was composed of
diverse interests--which has proven to be its greatest strength and at times, many thought
its greatest curse. The diversity of its members has led to long and heated discussions
which has promoted the development of a broad consensus upon priorities and actions.
Next, I would like to thank the committee members. These people gave almost continuously
of their time, energy, and expertise. Facing a seemingly endless array of public policy
considerations, to where near the end of our work it seemed as though all we did was
attend meetings and review the hundreds of pages of documentation provided to the
As a benefit of the committee's broad area of expertise relative to the production,
distribution, and consumption of energy, the committee could function largely as their
own resource. Where the committee felt additional input was necessary, presentations by
experts were arranged, including:

Additionally, the Junior League of Phoenix was invaluable in conducting 11 workshops
which provided the committee with crucial input. Many of the final recommendations of
this report were first mentioned or reinforced at these informal workshops.
My special thanks goes to the hundreds of Arizonans who in a series of public hearings
held in FlagstafT, Yuma, Tucson, Tempe, and Prescott, took the time and energy to review
and comment upon the committee's work. At the end, it was the views of those stalwart
Arizonans who recognized the importance of our mission, that weighed most heavily upon
the essence of the document.
But, it was the assistance given by the Arizona Energy Office staffthat provided the greatest
support to our committee. This included: secretarial support provided by Becky Edgar-
Nelson and Mabel Brown who sat through countless meetings furiously scribbling notes
of the committee's actions, impressions, and directions; guidance and work on planning,
logistics, and media issues related to the public input process, which was provided by
Maureen Bureson and Joan Laurence; overall direction of the staff and guidance on issues
of governmental affairs, provided by Jerry Dion. The committee is particularly indebted to
Michael Walters for his efforts at drafting and re-drafting the document-often with limited
The committee's editorial committee, consisting of Mark Ginsberg, Doug Brooks, and
Dennis Beals for Marty Shultz, took time in the waning holiday hours of December to put
the finishing touches upon the document.

Recommended State Energy Policy
Whereas, the state of Arizona's population and energy use are projected to grow for the
foreseeable future; and
Whereas, conservation and the efficient use of energy are expected to continue to be the
preferred overall economic and environmental strategies; and
Whereas, energy is a key determinant of the way we live, environmental quality and the
vitality of the economy of the state of Arizona; and
Whereas, energy supply, energy demand and the natural environment are at a point of
conflict which will continue into the foreseeable future: and
Whereas, the effect of this conflict can be mitigated through the development of a state
energy policy which balances supply, demand, environment and economic issues;
Therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the state ofArizona, the Senate
concurring, that the energy policy of the state of Arizona shall be to:
1. Assure sustainability of Arizona's energy supply and environmental quality
through efficient use and conservation of energy resources; utilization of a diversity
of energy resources; promotion of energy research, development, and demonstra-tion
projects; adoption and implementation of mechanisms to assure energy-efficient
communities, buildings, equipment and transportation systems; and
promotion of the optimum utilization of renewable energy resources.
2. Assure the environmental quality of the state of Arizona through environmentally
sound energy utilization.
3. Establish and utilize appropriate measures of the total cost and benefit to society
while maintaining an adequate, affordable and environmentally sound supply of
energy for all Arizonans.
4. Assure economic development and well-being that is sustainable through imple-mentation
of a balanced energy policy; efficient use of all energy resources; and
with help from renewable energy and energy-efficient products and processes.
5. Establish a long-range comprehensive planning system incorporating integrated
least cost energy planning, mitigation measures to avert supply disruptions and
means to incorporate anticipated energy supply, demand and technological
6. Encourage individual, local, and statewide action through the implementation of
energy education programs to overcome institutional, structural, and individual
obstacles to beneficial changes in the energy system.
Energy Policy in Arizona 1
Arizonans collectively spend in excess of $5 billion per year on direct energy purchases
from both in-state and out-of-state producers of natural gases, coal, electricity, and
petroleum products. At the same time, they expend private and public dollars attempting
to restore, protect, and enhance the quality of life and environment in Arizona. Energy and
the environment have become part of the essential elements for all current and future
Arizonans to maintain and improve their life quality. Having an adequate supply of clean
energy resources to fuel the economy and quality of life in Arizona presents a significant
challenge in an era of environmentalism and global interdependence. To do so at a
reasonable cost, while simultaneously achieving our desires in the areas of health, safety,
quality of life, and energy security will test our commitment to a hopeful future for
subsequent generations of Arizonans. Yet, to rise above the short-term or special interests
of those that benefit from an unbalanced energy marketplace may be the greatest challenge
of all.
The energy sector impacts the social, economic, and environmental quality of the entire
state and will have a significant impact upon our future growth. Many have attributed the
rapid population growth in Arizona since the end of World War I1 to the availability of
abundant electrical energy to cool homes and businesses during the hot summer months
of the desert metropolitan areas; and motor fuels to propel citizens from their suburban
homes to central business districts. The availability of inexpensive fossil fuel energy helped
create the miracle of the vast shining cities in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.
The low transaction cost fossil fuel energy that partially provided the impetus for the
development ofArizona into a state with apopulation exceeding three million is also directly
responsible for the substantial environmental degradation of our air, water, and habitat
quality. The air once world renowned for its purity is now heavy with pollutants of
automobiles and power plants; the water once flowing pure from clear mountain streams
contains residue from the mining of Arizona's vast coal and copper deposits; and the
deserts once renowned for their majesty are vanishing due to the urban sprawl of
metropolitan areas and their associated pollution.
Energy Policy Development
The development of an energy policy for the state of Arizona and the United States is not
a novel idea. In May of 1977, the Arizona Legislature passed a concurrent resolution
prescribing an energy policy for the legislative body. This legislative policy (H.C.R. 2013)
was developed during a period of energy supply crisis at the mid-point of the Carter
Administration. The legislative policy, although containing high ideals, was largely disre-garded
over the next decade as the energy crisis of the seventies faded from the memory
of most Arizonans, as energy prices declined substantially, and because there was no
mechanism for the sustained implementation of these ideals.
In order to better understand the role of energy in the monumental conflict between
economic development and environmental quality and to identlfy the legitimate public
policy issues and role of government in resolving this conflict, the Legislature created a
legislative Task Force on Energy Policy and Planning. To provide public input on this
important public policy area, an Advisory Committee on Energy Policy and Planning was
created and charged to explore and identify the various opportunities available to the
Arizona State Legislature for assuring the future excellence of both the environment and
the local economy as they relate to the production, distribution, and consumption of energy
resources and services.
In Arizona, the current energy policy and strategy development process began with the
passage of House Bill 2249, authorizing the creation of a Joint Legislative Task Force and
an Advisory Committee. signed by Governor Rose Mofford on 31 May 1988. During the
calendar years of 1989 and 1990, the Advisory Committee met bi-weekly and was
addressed by over 24 speakers. The Committee held 11 input workshops and four days of
public hearings throughout the State. More than 20.000 person-hours were contributed
by committee members and staff towards the goal of developing a sustainable energy policy
and implementation plan for Arizona. Yet, this enormous effort still scarcely scratched the
surface of measuring the total social cost and economic benefit of the energy sector upon
Arizona. Further, more definitive studies and considerable action will be necessary before
the conflict between our economy and our environment are fully resolved.
Unlike similar efforts in other states, this committee was composed of representatives of
government, business, and individual citizens with staff support from the Arizona Energy
Office of the Department of Commerce. It involved all energy sectors and attempts to
harness the resources of the marketplace and government by recognizing costs associated
with energy production and consumption and assigning them to originators or users. The
Legislature felt that starting this process by involving the public was not just sound policy,
but essential. Ultimately, the public's acceptance and implementation of the recommen-dations
will determine the committee's success.
Assuring an adequate supply of energy to fuel a robust and expanding economy presents
an increasingly difficult challenge in an era of economic sluggishness. To do so at a
relatively reasonable cost, while simultaneously achieving our objectives in the areas of
environmental restoration and protection, tests our ability and resolve to invent and
invest in solutions that balance these conflicting objectives (i.e.. affordable energy and
pristine environment).
Whether the source of energy is solar, natural gas, propane, oil, coal, or nuclear reaction,
all Arizonans require energy for transportation from home to work, to light the dark desert
nights, and to insulate themselves from the extremes of the environment we inhabit. The
local development of commercial energy sources has supported the population growth of
Arizona and plays an important role in our daily lives. Because energy plays such a
fundamental role in the current and future economic development and environmental
quality of the State, it is to our collective advantage to thoughtfully examine the total
implications of energy production. distribution, and consumption in Arizona and pro-actively
plan for an energy future that is sustainable economically and environmentally.
It is important to emphasize that in all instances the recommendations contained in this
report reflect the collective philosophy of the Advisory Committee on Energy PIanning and
Policy and not the Editor. Nor should one infer that it represents the policies of the
Governor's Office or the views of the Arizona Energy Office. The Advisory Committee process
included conflict on many issues, some of which could not be resolved. Yet, the Committee
was able to find enough common ground to issue this Energy Policy with its recommen-dations.
This document is ultimately the result of a democratic effort to determine the
Energy Policy in Arizona 3
future course of energy production, distribution and consumption in Arizona. It is not the
final word. The committee is strong in its belief that much more work must be done to
implement this policy and that there must be an ongoing mechanism to review and update
Arizona's energy policy.
Fundamental Suppositions
The development of this energy policy and implementation plan is based upon certain basic
premises and values that have been identified by the Advisory Committee on Energy Policy
and Planning, committee staff, and the public through the hearing process. These
fundamental suppositions about the energy sector of the state and national economy run
throughout the document and should be fully understood by the reader:
Energy Use is Directly Related to Environmental Quality.
The production, distribution, and consumption of all energy in Arizona has a
direct and largely measurable impact upon the environmental quality of the
State. Each kilowatt of electricity, cubic foot of natural gas, and gallon of
gasoline consumed by inhabitants of the State pollutes to varying degrees either
our air, water, or land.
Energy Efficiency is Key to a Sustainable Future.
The least-cost method of ensuring an adequate resource base for meeting the
needs of all current and future generations of Arizonans is to use our finite
resources in the most economically and environmentally efficient manner. The
more efficient we become as individuals and as a society the fewer finite
resources we will require to sustain and improve our quality of life and the less
energy we require, the simpler will be the transition to the next generation of
energy resources.
Government has a Role in the Efficient Operation of Energy Markets.
The local, national, and world energy markets are not currently characterized
as free markets. The existence of publicly-chartered monopolies and organiza-tions
of producing nations requires that appropriate levels of government have
a role in the efficient operation of the energy market.
Energy Planning and Education are Essential.
In order to ensure the efficient operation of energy markets, maintain consumer
confidence in business and government, and protect environmental quality, the
state government must maintain a proactive energy planning and education
process to promote astute energy decision-making.
Low-Income Citizens Should have Access to Affordable Energy Services.
Energy services (e.g., heating, cooling, lighting, transportation) are essential
commodities in contemporary society. Denying low-income consumers access
to affordable energy resources is equivalent to denying affordable access to
shelter, food, or water.
Goals and Objectives
The rationale of this policy and implementation plan is to assure sustainable sources of
affordable energy resources that will ensure the economic and physical health of the
communities and citizens that constitute the state of Arizona, both contemporary and
future generations. To resolve the existing conflict between economic realities and the
environment will require cooperation among all levels of government, the private sector,
and individual citizens. Yet, the social, environmental, and economic problems associated
with the energy sector exist in a complex web of interdependence, in which the solutions
to one problem may have unintended consequences upon another problem. Therefore, to
reach this broad public policy goal, the Advisory Committee has identified four major
objectives for state government and the private sector:
1. To use energy resources efficiently in Arizona through improvements in buildings,
transportation, manufacturing, and delivery systems. Energy efficiency and con-servation
are seen as ways to reduce pollution, reduce imports of energy, and
reduce expenditures for energy. Energy efficiency and conservation serve the
economic interests of Arizona and the environmental interests of the entire planet.
2. To assist in the efficient operation of the energy markets of Arizona through
improvements in planning and education about energy. Only through education
of the public and effective planning will we be able to resolve the conflicts between
energy production and consumption and the environment.
3. To assist in the economic development of Arizona through the use of indigenous
resources and existing infrastructure. Arizona possesses unique renewable energy
resources that can be promoted for the benefit of all citizens.
4. To assure the environmental quality of Arizona through safeguarding existing
resources and rehabilitation of polluted resources. The economic and social value
of a clean environment must be recognized in the energy decision-making process.
Priority Recommendations
The fundamental challenge of an energy policy is to find the appropriate mix of energy
resources for a sustainable future. The proper strategy would produce economic vitality
and a sound environment. The committee recognizes that it is the proper role ofgovernment
to protect the energy future through appropriate incentives for the use of solar and
renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation; and disincentives for wasteful energy
practices and use of non-renewable and fossil fuels. The following recommendations were
deemed by the committee to be of the highest priority in facing this challenge.
During the two years of its existence, the Committee has focused on the role of state
government, and in particular the role of the State Legislature, in effecting an energy policy.
However, the Committee does see significant potential for private sector actions that would
strive for the goals expressed in this document. Voluntary, cooperative efforts in the private
sector can often produce the innovation and leadership that is required to establish new
ideals in society. Additionally, the existing authority of state and local governments can
be utilized to implement many of the recommendations expressed in this document, and
to move our state toward a sustainable economy and a cleaner environment. In many
cases, the power to implement these ideas already exists, and with education and public
support that power could be brought to bear. The Committee believes that a cooperative
effort among government, individual and corporate citizens can result in achieving the
goals of this document.
Energy Policy in Arizona 5
For each Priority Action, the committee has considered multiple implementation strategies
and provides a menu of these activities. Committee members recognize the need for further
research to quantify goals as well as timelines for activities. An Energy Policy Implemen-tation
Advisory Council (Action 6) should be created to continue the effort to research and
refine the necessary steps to create meaningful and effective public policy in the compli-cated
field of energy.

Energy Policy in Arizona 9
Section 1 - Energy-Related Environmental Quality
Recommendation 1. The Legislature. Governor, and other units of government should
develop a long-term plan for the conversion of all government (ie.. municipal, county, state,
and school district) operated fleets and vehicles to cost-effective, environmentally benign
alternative fuels (including but not limited to electric, CNG, reformulated gasoline, ethanol,
methanol, propane, hydrogen, or solar).
Recommendation 2. The Department of Environmental Quality should prepare for
adoption stringent air quality protection measures associated with the stationary and
mobile provision of energy, utilizing information gained from the South Coast Air Quality
Management District, the California Air Resources Board, and local Arizona sources.
Recommendation 3. The Legislature should require the development of cost-effective,
mandatory curbside separation and recycling programs for counties and incorporated
communities throughout Arizona. Cities with over 25,000 people should recycle 25 percent
of their trash by 1998, and 50 percent by 2005, or face substantial daily fines.
Recommendation 4. The Legislature should develop and implement an emissions tax
for all stationary and mobile sources of particulates, NOx. CO, CO2, and SOX pollution
throughout the State based on quantity and quality of emissions with all revenue dedicated
to ener@ conservation and energy-related pollution abatement.
Recommendation 5. The Legislature should require that all public and private organi-zations
receiving public grants, loans, and contracts purchase recycled products when
they are available at a reasonable cost as a substitute for virgin products.
Recommendation 6. The Department of Commerce should develop and make available
to the public and business community a database of sources and availability of recycled
Recommendation 7. The Department of Commerce should explore ways to expand
production facilities that manufacture products using recycled materials.
Recommendation 8. The State should immediately fund an investigation into the
possibility of developing regional waste-to-energy systems for solid waste that cannot be
Recommendation 9. The Department of Environmental Quality should maintain a
stringent enforcement mechanism to test regularly for degradation of the groundwater in
the State associated with the provision of energy. Significant fines should be assessed and
collected for violations with all revenue dedicated to energy conservation and energy-re-lated
pollution abatement.
Section 2 - Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Recommendation 1. The State should work with private organizations to immediately
develop and apply a standard residential and commercial building energy rating system
to fully inform consumers about new building energy consumption. This system would
provide consumers with a simple scale to identify the relative energy efficiency of new
construction. Beginning January 1, 1995, no new building in Arizona should be sold or
leased unless it has been rated under the Arizona Building Energy Rating System.
Recommendation 2. The State should work with private organizations to immediately
develop and apply a standard residential and commercial building energy rating system
to fully inform consumers about existing building energy consumption. This system would
provide consumers with a simple scale to identify the relative energy-efficient new
construction. Beginning January 1, 1995, no existing building in Arizona should be sold
or leased unless it has been rated under the Arizona Building Energy Rating System.
Recommendation 3. The State, acting in a leadership role, should implement stringent
uniform energy efficiency standards for all existing and proposed publicly-funded buildings
to demonstrate the costs and benefits of energy-efficient technologies and strategies.
Recommendation 4. The State should work with utilities, private and municipal orga-nizations
to develop sliding-scale application, building permit, and energy service hook-up
fees that reward developers/consumers for the utilization of energy-efficient building
design, solar energy, and material technologies in new construction and penalize develop-ers/
consumers who select inefficient technologies.
Recommendation 5. The State should put into law a state-wide energy conservation
building code for all new and remodeled buildings similar to Title 24 in California.
Recommendation 6. The State, in concert with the utility industry and financial
institutions, should examine the development of cost-effective conservation and efficiency
programs, and solar energy technology and weatherization programs, including financing
incentives, for energy efficiency upgrades of existing buildings.
Recommendation 7. By 1995, the Legislature should adopt stringent energy efficiency
standards based on the California Public Resources Code Section 25402 (c)(l) for appli-ances
available to consumers in Arizona.
Recommendation 8. The State, in concert with the utility, construction, and real estate
development industries, should promote access to all energy types. Through the assurance
of consumer choice in energy type selection, the lowest cost energy alternative can be
implemented by the consumer.
Energy Policy in Arizona 11
Recommendation 9. By 1995. the State. in concert with the utility industry, should
develop incentives and a pricing structure that significantly rewards (cost-based) consum-ers
for reducing peak loads and/or total energy use through the use of cogeneration, solar
technologies, energy consewation, and other efficient technology or lifestyle changes.
Recommendation 10. The State should work with all financial institutions to assure
that long-term energy costs are properly recognized in calculating the financial qualifica-tion
of buyers for mortgages.
Recommendation 1. The State, in concert with private and public transportation
specialists, should develop a strategy to improve the utilization of our existing transpor-tation
Recommendation 2. The State, in concert with its counties and municipalities, should
further develop existing "least-cost" transportation systems. This could include further
developments of local and regional walkways, bicycles, mass transit, toll booths, variable
tolls, bus and freeway systems.
Recommendation 3. The State and metropolitan counties should immediately develop
and j ointly fund an efficient urban mass transit network. Additionally, the State, in concert
with government and private sector transportation specialists, should develop a planning
mechanism for the development of new "least-cost" transportation systems. This planning
mechanism should consider and review the social, environmental, and capital costs of new
transportation systems prior to approval.
Recommendation 4. The state ofArizona, in concert with its counties and municipalities,
should compel the use of energy efficiency as an evaluation tool in the urban planning,
zoning, and transportation design approval process. This might include incentives for high
density. "in-fill," or for mixed-use developments, and disincentives for long commutes.
Recommendation 5. By 1995, the State should alter the current vehicle fuel, sales, and
registration tax system to acknowledge environmental impact:
1. The value-based vehicle license tax should be altered by basing all vehicle license
taxes on a revenue-neutral ratio of fuel efficiency (mpg), level of atmospheric
emissions, and vehicle value.
2. The State should alter the current flat percentage sales tax on new, non-commercial
vehicles to a revenue-neutral, sliding-scale sales tax from 0 to 12 percent, based
on fuel efficiency and harmful atmospheric emissions.
3. The state fuel tax (gasoline tax) should be altered to a revenue-neutral, sliding-scale
fuel tax based on harmful atmospheric emissions from different fuel types.
Recommendation 6. Arizona's Congressional delegation should aggressively pursue
enactment of legislation increasing the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency standards.
Delivery Systems
Recommendation 1. The State should promote the optimum use of energy transmission
systems. Competition in the bulk power market can exist only where there is fair
opportunity to reach and utilize new supplies. The State, in cooperation with the energy
production and distribution industries, should work to gain access to economic energy
supplies from outside Arizona.
Recommendation 2. Utilities should continue to integrate dependable/economic energy
sources into the utility system. Energy purchase and sales contracts should be structured
to encourage alternative and or renewable sources of energy while adequately protecting
the interests of utilities and their ratepayers. Contracts for regulated electric utilities to
purchase power from non-utility generators should be subject to a one-time review and
approval proceeding at the Arizona Corporation Commission at the time the contract is
entered into by the parties.
Recommendation 3. The Arizona Corporation Commission should develop appropriate
utility cost recovery mechanisms which facilitate utility investments in economic demand-side
measures for efficiency and conservation.
Recommendation 4. Arizona utilities should implement the PURPA (1978 Public Utilities
Regulatory Policies Act) rate-making standards as soon as possible, if not already done.
PURPA sets forth six standards which include: rates should reflect cost; prohibition of
declining block rates; consideration of time of use rates; seasonal rates; interruptible rates;
and load management techniques, to encourage three purposes:
1. conservation of energy by end users
2. efficient use of facilities and resources by utilities
3. equitable rates to consumers.
Recommendation 5. The Arizona Corporation Commission should develop and adopt
unbiased criteria for the measurement of the effectiveness of demand-side utility strategies.
Recommendation 6. The Arizona Corporation Commission should assure that utility
and state incentives for efficiency are balanced. For example, rebates for evaporative
coolers, solar technologies, and high-efficiency air conditioners should be included if there
are rebates for electric heat pumps. Rebates should not be granted merely to enhance
utility cash flow to the detriment of overall societal efficiency and equity.
Recommendation 7. The State, counties and municipalities, in cooperation with energy
providers and real estate developers, should produce urban plans that include environ-mental
impact and efficient siting for future generation, transmission, and distribution
Manufacturing Systems
Recommendation 1. The Department of Commerce should promote the development and
application of dependable, economic, and efficient systems such as cogeneration and waste
heat recovery in manufacturing processes.
Recommendation 2. The Arizona Corporation Commission, in association with energy
production and distribution utilities, should develop a system of incentives for energy
efficiency in manufacturing processes. These might include rate design, energy audits, tax
benefits, financing of energy efficiency improvements, or cost-effective rebate incentives.
Recommendation 3. The State should encourage the implementation of recycling pro-grams
including the adoption of new conservation and energy-efficient processes at the
Energy Policy in Arizona 13
manufacturing level to eliminate financial losses from the waste of energy, and funding a
study of deposit legislation for beverage containers.

should provide technical information conferences and educational programs about con-servation
and efficient industrial energy technologies and the costs and benefits of energy
efficiency improvements.
Recommendation 5. The Department of Agriculture. Arizona Power Authority, and the
university system should encourage existing programs that further research and investi-gate
the feasibility of energy-efficient agricultural practices and techniques.
Section 3 - Planning for the Future
Planning Process
Recommendation 1. The State should develop a comprehensive energy plan and plan-ning
process coordinated with the Integrated Resource Plan of the Arizona Corporation
Commission designed to help the State meet its long-term needs for energy services. The
plans should evaluate and address increased energy efficiency, the development of
appropriate renewable energy resources including hydroelectric, greater energy indepen-dence,
and preparedness for future energy emergencies.
Recommendation 2. The State should immediately prepare an energy supply emergency
plan. This plan must consider the needs of residential, industrial, commercial, and
agricultural energy consumers. This plan should be closely coordinated with energy
suppliers, neighboring states, and the federal government.
Recommendation 3. The Arizona Corporation Commission should actively continue its
efforts to implement its Integrated Resource Plan. The Integrated Resource Plan should
include an evaluation of alternative economic supply and demand strategies for meeting
future demand.
Recommendation 4. The State. Arizona Corporation Commission, and energy produc-tion
and distribution companies should adopt a system of least total social cost for the
complete fuel life cycle in all energy decision-making. Part of this process would include
the development of a public policy process to determine the appropriate balance between
transaction cost for energy and its total social cost.
Recommendation 5. The State should develop a system to accurately monitor energy
supply and consumption for all energy types locally and regionally, including a system of
mandatory reporting of supply and consumption by large-scale commercial suppliers and
users. The results should be published and made available to the public.
Recommendation 6. The State should assess and evaluate whether its current level of
involvement (i.e., regulation, taxing, siting, etc.) with all private and public/municipal
energy production, transmission, distribution or supply organizations in the State is
optimal and results in the most efficient allocation and/or use of energy resources.
Recommendation 7. The State should continue to encourage local divisions of govern-ment
to emphasize "in-fill" within their communities and urban planning/zoning with an
emphasis on energy efficiency and conservation.
Recommendation 8. The State should work with the federal Department of Energy to
assure that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve drawdown procedures are implemented to
assure petroleum supplies to Arizona.
Energy Policy in Arizona 15
Recommendation 9. To the extent practical, when the State government is involved in
aspects of regulation, control, review, plan approval, reporting requirements, and siting
approval as these relate to the energy sector, a single bureau of state government shall be
clearly designated as responsible and accountable for coordinating the activity.
Recommendation 10. The State should assess and evaluate whether the current level
of public input and control over municipal energy utilities is appropriate.
Recommendation 11. The State should continue to work at the national level to
encourage the federal government to develop a comprehensive national energy policy
focused upon economic and environmental sustainability.
Recommendation 12. The State should identify and remove financial and regulatory
impediments to the use of solar and renewable energy technologies.

and business community awareness of energy issues through the effective use of public
workshops and forums, publications, and the use of mass media communications. The
State, in association with the business community and other appropriate groups, should
develop a program of energy education for all employees and develop community-wide
energy education programs.
Recommendation 2. The Departments of Commerce and Education, working with energy
utilities, education professionals, and other appropriate groups should encourage the
development and implementation of a fully integrated energy education curriculum for
primary schools, secondary schools, technical and vocational schools, community colleges,
and universities. Additionally, the State should develop a teacher training program on
energy and environmental topics and scholarships for students and teachers to attend
energy education programs and to perform energy research.
Recommendation 3. The State should immediately expand funding for community
college, university, and specialized training scholarships and programs for students who
will pursue careers as energy specialists in all career fields.
Recommendation 1. The State should fund a coordinated continuum of energy programs
that include administrative costs to benefit low-income households through a dedicated
funding source.
Recommendation 2. The State, in association with energy utilities, social service orga-nizations,
and other interested parties, should develop and implement programs that
reasonably assure the availability of vital energy services to all residents and avoid energy
utility shut-offs during periods of extreme temperatures.
Recommendation 3. The State should design energy assistance programs, including
transportation assistance, with a focus on providing energy services at the most cost-ef-fective
price. Demand reduction programs should be carefully balanced with financial
assistance programs, and education about energy consumption management should be a
key component of all programs.
Recommendation 4. The State, in association with all interested parties, should work
to expand energy efficiency and conservation programs that are successful in increasing
the energy efficiency of low-income housing. These programs should include installation
of solar and energy-efficient technologies, conservation of energy, and self-help programs.
Recommendation 5. The State should work with the federal government to assure that
federal and state programs (e.g., weatherization and energy assistance) consider local
climatic conditions (i.e., cooling and heating degree days) in their administration and
Energy Policy in Arizona 17
Section 5 - Technology Development
Solar and Renewable Energy
Recommendation 1. The State, in association with the federal government and private
sector, should devote additional economic resources to further the state's solar and
renewable research, demonstration, education, and technology transfer functions.
Recommendation 2. The Legislature should establish a consumption-based fee through
energy utilities to be used for solar and renewable energy projects.

upon request from the Arizona Energy Office. A third document containing summaries of
workshops held on the policy, transcripts of the public hearings, and written testimony
has also been prepared and indexed by subject. The length of the public input document
made it too costly to reproduce in large numbers. It will be provided to the Legislative Task
Force on Energy Policy and Planning and to any other decision-makers who will be acting
on the recommendations contained in the report. A copy will be available at the Arizona
Energy Office in Phoenix for review, as well as at the main libraries in the communities
where public hearings were held. Copies of this document can be purchased for the cost
of the printing.

I really don't understand how people have not embraced facebook yet. It helps keep you in touch and connect. I've kept with family better, and found out about what's going on moreso than prior to facebook. Even my 70+ year old dad is on facebook.
There are measures to keep your info safe ... and if your afraid of someone hacking your information from facebook ... what can they really get? It is ad laden, but there are ways around that easily.
Thanks for offering this great computer ! I bet even on this computer, facebook would load slowly hahahaha Facebook is a great resource, but they should speed up their server offerings.
Great Prize, Thanks for having the sweepstakes!
Would love to win this great prize, awsome sweepstakes!!!
What sucks about this is there are many people not part of HH that will have a chance :( lol. They should be required to sign up on HH :D
well it does say that posting on here will get you noticed... The big question is how many will remain after said sweepstakes...
You hit the nail on the head, Der. Folks should be registered here too (and hopefully they'll like it enough here to hang around a while). HH and CP will be making the winner selection together.
So what you're saying is... posting here will help you get noticed for a change to win the new rig?
This is a great giveaway congrats.
I have become a fan of hot hardware on face book.
I have become a fan of cyberpower inc. on facebook
Me and HH are down like 4 flat tires without a spare!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ain't going nowhere!!!!!!!!!!!! Met to many good people here.
So what you're saying is... posting here will help you get noticed for a change to win the new rig?
You need to do it all to get noticed.... Act like its a really attractive girl whos attention you want... ahahahah
"Act like its a really attractive girl whos attention you want... ahahahah"
SO... I should get naked, cover myself in chocolate and strawberries and ride a white unicorn with saddlebags filled with diamonds
And trust me: CyberPower makes a nice system. The only computer I've bought "off the shelf" in the last 10 years was a CyberPower system, and I really expected it to be sub-par because the components were almost the same price as the system.
Boy was I pleasantly surprised. It's worked like a charm and been zero problems. I highly recommend giving them a look to anyone thinking about purchasing a new system.
What part of "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" don't you understand?
I'll sell my soul for a freaking candy bar. Let me at this PC
Good luck to everyone and again another great contest from HH. Really is amazing how many PCs you all give away.

Part five of a series on where Beijing residents enjoy a beverage (or two). This round is with music and nightlife lovers Elisabeth Tchoudjinoff and Katrina Arndt.
Black Sun Bar
This is our neighborhood bar and a good place to start the night. The cocktails are standard but cheap. This is the only bar we know in Beijing where the foosball players' feet are not too high above the field. It doesn't meet professional EU standards, which is probably why we are used to it. We enjoy kicking sets of men off the table and we do so often. We are not cocky, just confident.
Liang 30 Bar
Elisabeth: This is my reason to visit Houhai. The young (read: uncomplicated) Xinjiang musicians listen to our requests and the service is friendly. We also get to plug in our iPod during music breaks, us being the music snobs we are. Plus: Live music can still be heard from the upstairs, which offers a view of the rooftops of Houhai. Major plus: The flattering mirror in the bathroom helps you turn into Narcissus for a few hours or to see the rings in your eyes Downside: The bartender can only be trusted to make Gin Tonics. And open beer bottles.
Katrina: I only come for the music and the mirror.
Salsa Caribe
If we don't dilly dally too much, we might try to catch the end set of the salsa band, since they play with explosive energy. We don't know how many bands play in this venue, but they recently had a singer from the Middle East. A sweaty salsa band + Amr Diab's 'Habibi' live = very happy moment. Afterwards, we dance to salsa and Arabic and African music until the wee hours. Sure, this place can be a bit of a meat market, but at least the women are playing games as well as the men.
Le Petit Gourmand
The terrace seating is comfortable (when the weather is not too hot), the food is consistently good, and it is a good place to bring a laptop and concentrate on work. We once ordered food and told them we didn't think the wine list was sufficient, so we were allowed to bring two bottles of our own. They provided the ice bucket and glasses. However, now this place has a new wine selection, so we might not be able to do that anymore. Still, it's a fond memory.
Ichikura / 12SQM
Katrina: Ichikura is a one-of-a-kind bar with a very nice intimate setting and a bartender who takes great care in all the details that go into making a cocktail. Each drink is like a piece of performance art. It is nice to see someone in Beijing who puts so much passion into his work. To be honest, I don't really want to mention this bar because it doesn't have a lot of space.
Elisabeth: 12SQM has a nice cozy setting and offers Grey Goose vodka and lychee liquor on the beautiful back wall full of liquor. The lighting is soft and the conversation is low. It is nice to sit on the cushioned window sill and watch Nanluoguxiang life pass by.

UM-Dearborn College of Business launches undergraduate business degree in digital marketing this fall
August 31, 2011
DEARBORN / Aug. 31, 2011---The University of Michigan-Dearborns College of Business (COB) has launched a new undergraduate business degree in digital marketing that will be available beginning this fall. This exciting new program is one of only two digital marketing programs across the nation and provides students with the skills needed to succeed in this rapidly changing field.
Digital marketing utilizes technologies including the internet, social networks, mobile and video games providing even small companies global markets. Digital marketing allows for interactive two-way communication between a company and its customers allowing for customized products, prices or promotions.
Digital marketing has become a primary way that companies service and engage their customer base, says Kim Schatzel, dean, College of Business. As the reliance on digital continues to grow, we are thrilled to launch this program which will produce the kind of employees that companies are looking to hire - creative talent that can synthesize solutions, identify opportunities, and laterally think in the digital space.
This digital marketing major prepares students for all areas of the industry by providing a diverse course curriculum including new courses such as E-tailing and Retailing, Communications Strategy & New Media, Digital Consumer Search & Marketing and Digital Analytics and Content.
For more information on this exciting program visit http://cob.umd.umich.edu/693487/ or connect with the program on Facebook at UM-Dearborn: Digital Marketing.
The College also recently announced that it has named entrepreneur and best-selling author Josh Linkner as its entrepreneur-in-residence and adjunct professor of applied creativity. Linkner, CEO and managing partner of Detroit Venture Partners, a venture capital firm helping to rebuild urban areas through technology and entrepreneurship, will partner with College of Business and University faculty, staff and senior leadership to infuse programs and courses with his innovative principles. We look forward to working with Josh who is a trailblazer in digital marketing and will be a key in the creative development of the students in this new major, said Schatzel.
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University has nearly 8,900 students pursuing more than 90 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education. A top-ranked university with a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of partnering with local leaders and communities, and is committed to finding solutions for the challenges that face the region.

Thanks for the reminders of my old home and keep up the good work. Sad to say, I only have photos of the mountain from when I was last there, over 25 years ago. :( Keep up the good work.

Muḥammad Ḥusain Āzād (also called Ehsan Azad, circa 1834–1910) was a successful Urdu poet and a writer of vivid prose, particularly in his historical writing. He was born in Delhi, where his father, Muhammad Baqir, edited the first Urdu newspaper, Delhi Urdu Akhbar. Muhammad Baqir's involvement in the Uprising of 1857 (also known as the Sepoy Rebellion) led to his execution by the British. His son moved to Lahore several years later, where he taught Arabic at Government College and was subsequently professor of Urdu and Persian at ...

This past Wednesday (13-October), I did the short trek up to Frankenstein Cliff in the Crawford Notch. I witnessed a colorful display which perhaps was the fall foliage finale for the 2010 season (at least for most locations up here "above the notches"). As a result of the recent rain and gusty wind, many of the colorful leaves seen in the photo below have fallen from the tree branches and now rest on the forest floor, soon to be covered with a white blanket of snow.
While I was there on Frankenstein Cliff, I bushwhacked a few hundred feet behind the cliffs in order to try to get a view up the Dry River Valley toward Mt. Washington. I managed to get a view which would've been pretty nice if it had not been for a big white tree that sort of blemished the vista.

As a nonprofit organization, one of the most difficult challenges we face every day is getting our message of hope out to those who need it most. Without the support of people like you we would not be able to:
You May donate by clicking on the Donate Online go button above, you will be redirected to active.coms Website to assist with your donation.
Thank you for supporting Lupus Foundation of Southern California (LFSC). There are many ways you can support our foundation, both today and in years to come.
For those of you who are a part of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) please be advised that the campaign period begins on September 1 and ends on December 15 each year. The Lupus Foundation of Southern California's CFC number is 15575.
The payroll deduction method has many advantages.
It is efficient: Workplace giving campaigns are the most cost-effective method to raise funds for charity, and most of what is collected from Federal donors reaches the designated groups. This is an easy way to make a donation to help the LFSC continue its programs and services for the people locally.
It is also easy: Donors find workplace giving a simple, convenient way to support the charities they care about.
The CFC has been around for over four decades. Each year, tens of thousands of charities apply to participate. Only those that meet strict standards of eligibility are admitted. The LFSC has been part of CFC since 1995.
Each year, thousands of local companies support United Way with a workplace campaign. These campaigns raise funds for area nonprofit agencies.
"It is important that we all get behind this drive," said Doug Sawyer – President @ CEO of the San Diego County United Way. "Without United Way funding, many nonprofit agencies would not be able to provide services that are needed in our community."
"There continues to be a lot of need in this community, but we can make a difference – one gift, one hour at a time. This year everyone counts whether you give, advocate or volunteer. And, this year we hope we can count on you to help make this community a better place for all of us."
Never before has a team effort been more critical to our community's well-being," "The economy has taken its toll on so many of our neighbors and although there are signs of recovery, much help is still needed. The Power of ONE—one dollar, one donor, one donation—to make a one-by-one difference for real people in need. Times may be tough, but people still like to help and may not know that even small donations can have a big effect; it's easy to double the number of people you can help. Thanks to the generosity of several local partners, your United Way donation can be matched dollar-for-dollar. Employees can also make a one-time donation.
Donors can designate which nonprofit agency their money goes to. If they don't designate one, the money goes into a general fund. Some of that money goes to CHAD for their partners of which the LFSC is one. The LFSC United Way/CHAD number is 15575.
For more information on giving, please call (858) 278-2788 or you may donate by clicking on the donate online button above.

During my visit to India, i stayed at Sahara Star for more than 20 days... and it had been the best expeience so far during my visit to India. The ambience, food, hospitality... everything was awesome. I would rate them 100% for every criteria."
Great hotel and friendly staff, nice spacious room. Stunning panoramic view of the ocean and Mumbai city skyline."
We have stayed for 2 weeks, staff were friendly and help generally with great service and follow ups. Overall cleanliness of the hotel was tidy but room cleanliness requires improvement. rates were booked online which was quiet reasonable.location wise its located near by phinex mall which is a great advantage for people who like eating out and shopping. overall staying at the palladium was a good experience."
The room was very comfortable. My only complaint is the overpowering chemical "room freshener" they sprayed in the room when cleaning (luckily is dissipated over time), and the fact that we couldn't seem to actually control the room temperature on the A/C. No matter what we set it at, it seemed to keep the room at about 68 (F)/20 (C). The neighborhood is a little sketchy immediately around the hotel, so don't walk around by yourself or after dark. There are a large number of homeless people who sleep on the sidewalk about a block away. Unfortunately, not all that uncommon in Delhi. Zing restaurant was uninspiring, but *definitely* check out Chutney restaurant. We ate there twice, and their food was really, really good. Some subtle shadings of spices that make the food different from mere "Indian" cuisine."
Excellent service and attentiveness by hotel staff! Very clean, comfortable and convenient."
The food was excellent, the service was very good. I would stay here again, however, they need to learn how to schedule rooms and construction. We had to change rooms 3 times during our stay due to the noisy construction in the middle of the day. We were there for 8 days finalizing our adoption and construction made nap time difficult. However, the hotel was very accomodating. And shame on me for not knowing that the hotel exchange rate was much lower than the bank exchange rates. I lost about twelve USD every hundred exchanged on top of the thirty rps service charge. We felt safe and protected during our stay. Everything however was very expensive (eight usd per beer for the cheap domestic stuff even). Spa services were nice, staff was very friendly. Haresh was a great driver and guide to the city."
The hotel is within a garden complex that is walled off from the busy streets outside. Staff are exceptionally attentive and know everything that is going on and anticipate your next need. We were all given a gift as a memento of our stay. Dining options are fantastic and the staff cater to every wish. Overall, this is a wonderful hotel staffed by the most courteous and helpful people imaginable"
we stayed there for two nights, but were out most of the time, but every thing was nice , the staff was very nice and helpful in every thing,location is good. would stay there again ."
Ok the staff were helpful, and the price was right. TV didn't work that well, but overall I was more than satisfied."
Breakfast had too many options.(which was excellent).Hotel had arranged for a live singer to entertain the guests for all the meals. (excellent) Room Service was perfect. Beach is at walking distance from the hotel. The only thing that I did not like was rooms could have been better for the price they charge. Bathrooms did not have bath tub.Hotel had some slums near by. (in one corner)."
It was a good choice to stay in la gulls,good rooms,best thing is the location,cars and bikes r available just out side the hotel,baga,anjuna,calingude,beach r all close by,its a value for money at la gulls."
Great holiday. Prompt staff. Excellent food. Place to be. Had a great time."
Mumbai is the curate's egg of Indian sightseeing. Some critics deplore the city's monolithic architecture...
Gritty and glamorous, Mumbai personifies today's India. A megalopolis of 14 million people, Mumbai is...
Though Mumbai thrives during the daytime, evenings take a much more sedate turn and the most popular...
