[Email correspondence from John Fazio per phone call with commentor Jim Likes]

I got a call from Jim Likes on Monday August 6th. He wanted to make comments on a couple of Council issues. I don't know what the deadlines are (or were) but thought I would write down his comments and pass them on to you. First his name and address:

Jim Likes

1. He wanted to comment on the idea of pursuing a more mathematical approach to demand forecasting. He is all in favor of it and suggests that we spend more money on model development. He says we need an unbiased approach to demand forecasting and that we should go further and assess the value of "de-growth" (or reducing our demand). He also suggested buying farmland that is currently being irrigated and making it a wildlife refuge.
2. On the issue of natural gas, he suggested that distributed generation was a good idea and that we should try a pilot demonstration.

He is willing to write his comments if necessary.

Thanks, John Fazio
