| Comment |
Dear Board members, As a physicist and concerned California resident I am writing to express support the objective of increasing Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) requirement to 33 percent by 2020. The science community is in general agreement that much more can be done to increase renewables in our energy portfolio, though significant breakthroughs await more dedicated Federal funds and coherent policies. I wish to inject that conservation is really the goal for the energy sector, being much more cost effective. It may be worthwhile to set a standard that achieves 33% or more, but allows for some fraction to be derived from conservation. Californians have demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness in their approach to energy conservation and surely additional inefficiencies can be overcome through intelligent conservation planning.
