FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







1992 FWOC RESOLUTION #15

_ENERGY CONSERVATION_


The Rocky Mountain Institute of Snowmass, Colorado, has evolved a program of energy conservation that greatly reduces or eliminates altogether the need for additional fossil fuel and nuclear power plants.  This program consists of a combination of improved building designs, retrofits of existing buildings, and utilization of alternative energy sources such as wind-driven generators, solar panels, fuel cells and cogeneration.  It has been adopted by a number of utilities.
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs urges that the Federal government adopt policies offering financial incentives for the use of building designs that will save heat and electrical energy and for the construction of alternate energy source such as those mentioned above.  The Federation further urges that the pioneering work of the Rocky Mountain Institute in this field be officially recognized by the Federal government.  Letters on these matters should be sent to Congress and to James D. Watkins, Secretary of the Department of Energy, and to William K. Reilly, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Federation also urges that building codes be revised to require the use of energy-saving designs in new buildings, and to require retrofitting of existing buildings (insofar as practicable) in order to save heat and electrical energy.
