The resolution highlights the worsening energy crisis across the narion and calls on St. Paul citizens to participate in this nationally coordinated effort at promoting energy conservation and aitemative energy research. Councilmember Benanav commented, "Only by leadership and coordination can we respond to the growing apathy toward our national energy policy; efforts such as this enable citizens to work together to affect that policy." Councilmember Chris Coleman, who drafted the resolution, was inspired by the efforts at clean energy and conservation he has seen while attending the International Best Practices Exchange Conference on "Advanced Strategies for Municipal Acfion on Climate Change and Air Pollution" in Toronto, Canada. Councilmember Coleman, was invited to present at the conference along with Public Works empioyee Rick Pearson. The conference, which centers around problems associated wiffi global climate change is an intemational gathering of climate experts and policy makers dedicated to addressing the problem via environmental, consumer, and trade policy. "I have been both excited and dismayed since I have been here at this conference;" said Coleman, "Excited to see that many in the intemational community see SL Paul as a civic teader in municipal energy policy, but dismayed at how the current proposed solutions to our national energy crunch only give us more smog-fiiled air, more nuclear waste, or more bulldozed wilderness. I ihink a roiling blackout is a good way to respond to this travesty of a national energy policy." The rolling blackout will occur between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on Thursday, June 21. Citizens are asked to turn off or unplug all nonessenrial electrical lights and appliances during that time.
