Thanks for your response.  I noticed that you do not appear to have a Sierra 
Club membership.  Have you recently joined the club?

What we are trying to do is establish Sierra Club policy.  For that, we need 
to have Sierra Club members participating.

If you have any ideas or thoughts you would like to share with us, we would 
be happy to cosider those and use those in establishing our policy.

I would volunteer for such a committee.. I am a retired architect and 
University Prof.. Ph.D was in architecture focused on building energy use modeling.. 
from Texas A&M.. I have design many passive solar homes .. The energy push 
that I see in Iowa is a head long push for production... without addressing the 
demand side of the equation.. in autos or buildings... I lived in OK for 20 yrs 
and saw what the oil production mentality could do... Iowan greed is not very 
different.. There needs to be more synergism in the location of ethanol 
plants and Hog confinement facilities ..The legislature should look at the Californi
a model of adopting energy efficiency standards that mean something.. Ken

Subject: Sierra Club energy committee


The Iowa Chapter of Sierra Club is forming a committee of Chapter members who 
are interested in energy issues. We want to propose and work to adopt 
policies that will ensure environmentally sound responses to the issues of energy 
production, use, and conservation. These proposals will be presented to state and 
national legislators, and administrative decision makers. There is no 
question that everyone now sees the importance of planning our energy future. The 
Sierra Club must take the lead in making sure this future is one that protects 
the environment.

If you would like to be a member of this important committee please contact 
me.
