Wind power, natural gas from all those capped wells in Montana, Wyoming, 
etc.  Conservation.  No free passes for big business.

Anyone have any idea how much sawdust each year goes into the waste heap 
that could be used for producing power?

I'll bet if someone stopped long enough to think about it that the current 
in the Aquaduct could be put to use.  That is one strong current!

Perhaps the old LP pulp mill should be an example for other companies!

And, for those that aren't familiar with the LP pulp mill, other than 
perhaps having driven past it before it went chlorine free <g>, they use 
wood waste to produce all the power they need to run one of the largest pulp 
mills in the U.S. PLUS power the two or three towns that are near them.

There are lots of options but the nuclear and coal folks choose not to look 
at them inorder to defend what they are doing.
