Gov. Phil Bredesen has named an ad hoc committee to develop immediate recommendations for what Tennessee should do to cut electricity use in state buildings and gas consumption in the state's fleet of vehicles. During a meeting of his Energy Policy Task Force in Chattanooga, Bredesen named the four-member panel to identify "low-hanging fruit" the state might pick and realize the biggest energy savings.
The group will be chaired by John Noel, president of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, and also include state Sen. Rosalind Kurita, D-Clarksville; state Rep. Les Winningham, D-Huntsville; and Vanderbilt University law professor Michael Vandenbergh.
