EENR committee addresses energy policy, greenhouse gas emissions: proposed changes to policy will be re-examined by full committee at Congress of Cities and Exposition.(Energy, Environment and Natural Resources)
Nation's Cities Weekly, October, 2006 by Rosenfeld, Ken
Energy issues dominated much of the fall meeting of the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources (EENR) steering committee in Phoenix, resulting in a number of policy initiatives.
The committee, chaired by Councilmember Dena Mossar of Palo Alto, Calif., is calling for a slight but significant reorganization of the EENR chapter in the National Municipal Policy.
The proposed changes include moving existing language on climate change to a more prominent position, and promoting the use of all energy sources by removing outdated references to "conventional" and "alternative" sources. The goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions was added to several sections, while new language would promote a number of tax incentives related to energy efficiency.
