Symbiotics LLC, in arguing for the project, pointed to hydroelectricity's renewable energy potential and claimed the project could meet about 85 percent of Utah's current peak energy demands if used in concert with conservation efforts. "

Idea for 2 new forums
Submitted by Amanda on Tue, 2007-04-10 15:56. forum topics | location | news | region | Think about IshthinkHi! I was wondering if we could add 2 more forums to the website.
 1. I think it would be good to have a location/regional forum like there used to be on Ishcon, where people can try to connect with others in their area and where local Ish groups could be promoted. Right now there is really nowhere to do this.
