Enlightened Holidays
As I w rite , the world hastily prepares tor
Christmas Nightly the world sparkles
w ith density in colored lights I think
about the lights, I think about the energy it
takes to light the world at Christmas
tim e, about the dams and the fate of our
latest s a c rific ia l larnb. the salmon l also
think about the nuclear-generated
e le c tric ity world wide which presents
problems so atrocious and immense it
seems unfathomable to me that such
plants are allowed to cont inue to operate
If I could have my Christmas wish i would
wish that every nuclear power plant in the
world was ordered to shut down
immediately The pending doom they
represent makes them too expensive to
meter It s tim e to admit that the nuclear
dream of yesteryear has become a pre ,ent
and future nightmare, it s tim e to take a
safe sane approach to meeting our power
needs A large packet of legal papers
before me serves as a reminder of the rate
increase the PUC seerns eager to grant
Portland General Electric for not only the
decommissioning of Trojan, but for the
shortsighted investment in the monster l
feel frustrated that we are forced to share
not only the f inancial burden of a bad idea
but the risk we as a community endured
w hile it operated, and the unsettled
feeling of knowing that Trojan s
gene-altering deadly toxic waste
continues to liv e
I hate to admit it but I love the pretty
colored lights of the holiday season I hate
to admit it but I was almost as excited as
my five year old nephews when we spotted
the fir s t house i •
ksgtvIng evening
I feel gu ilty that I delight in this frivolous
tra d itio n iv e struggled w ith the decision
as to whether or not hang colored lights in
my home
Would I be paying homage to the
large u tilitie s , or satisfying the part of
me that enjoys the tw inkly sparkle? I
gave in to desire and have ru le d in favor of
just enough Christmas lights to add a
STOP
lit t le color around here I ve sent in my
rebate for three compact florescent
Iightbulbs. and anticipate the pleasure of
awarding these jewels to rny energy
ac tiv is t fr lends I ve saved one for my
home hoping to offset the energy
consumption for the visual indulgence i ve
chosen The best part of it all is that
Portland General Electric is footing the
b ill on these g ifts In the meantime. lm
assisting the Oregon Conservancy
Foundation in ge’ tmg the word out about a
week of solar workshops to be held
January 1 0 th - 16th Johnny Weiss,
Director of Solar Energy international of
Carbondale. Colorado w ill be the guest
instructor Johnny may not be the new
Messiah, but he has a message to shar e
about ways in which we can take some of
the responsibility for lessening the power
load and impact on our earth without
sacr if ic ir»g comfort and some of life s
simple pleasures Johnny doesn't preach
that we should all go off the grid and
attempt to work arid play during daylight
hours only Johnny has the knowledge and
experience in finding ways to cut our
energy consumption by making wise use of
space and existing energy resources, arid
by building or remodeling w ith energv
efficiency in mind if you are interested in
these classes or would like more
information about The Oregon Conservanry
Foundation or Solar Fnergy International,

holds a glow of hope after all Happy New

S h u ttle Ridership Increasing
Over 6.900 folks rode the Cannon
Beach Shuttle between July and
October last year, up 28X from the
previous year Last rear the Energy
Committee started a campaign to
increase ridership w ith a goal of
25K by the end of the year They
used promotion on Cable Channel 3,
qot a nice piece on Channel 8 (KGW
TV), and Northwest Natural Gas also
did its part by sponsoring a brochure
(w ith a drawing by Upper i eft Edg*
Grapmcs Editor Sally I ackaff ) that
was distributed to businesses m the
area arid mailed to citizens in
October
In addition to its regular
schedule, the shuttle may be used
for school events, senior citizen
support, or fam ily outings, just
contact the City Manager s office
Users must furnish a gualif ted
dr iver and pay a milage fee to defray
operating costs
The Energy Committee wants to
publicly thank the businesses and
the hotels/m otels and the City
government for their support, and
especially YOU who use the shuttle
(The Edge would also like to thank
the Energy committee for a job well
done on a project we can all be
proud of )
