"Today, we are making a bold statement about how we feel about the
environment," said Thomas Day, senior vice president of government relations,
who spoke at the event.
"And with fuel and energy prices at unprecedented levels, we know that to
manage costs, we have to respond by encouraging energy efficient programs , and
more importantly, by developing solar generation and fuel-cell generation
projects," said Day. "In the end, we know these projects will help protect
low-cost service for our customers.
