Sierrans and Friends: Another good energy LTE in Iowa! See below, from today's DMR. Lyle R. Krewson Sierra Club Conservation Organizer ***** Letters to the Editor By Register Editorial Board 09/03/2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Best energy is wind power Wind power could provide 15 percent of needed electrical power for our high-consuming citizenry. Gas is another alternative, but there is a pending shortage. Nuclear power is catching on, but no one knows how to dispose of its radioactive waste. Communities are considering biomass production of needed power, but that also requires the building of new plants. Wind farms can be operational within a year's time. What future catastrophes do we need to convince us action is imminently needed for quick results in power production to keep us warm, cool and on the move? Down with nuclear-power plants, up with wind-powered facilities. Marie Malloy, Des Moines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lyle R.
