2. Many energy supply and demand factors which influence the metropolitan area are <br />beyond local control. An example is the petroleum supply decisions made by <br />Or,ganization of Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC nations. 1erre <br />present rate M. pop 11 T11•inn m•n l+rrt a r1 energy } be stated-with <br />nnnY•r lr nEitlt~lti n 11 1,8 oclcnlln+o #n +v nnf rlniv n ~ 11r~rYrr1 #1 <br />Bert 9.1a4 on <br />J Over-all i~r ~'J'-T r~.

Energy savings can be obtained by utilizing forms of energy other than electricity or <br />fossil fuels for space heating. <br />54. Recent trends and analysis indicate that the relative cost of non-renewable energy <br />supplies, such as petroleum, and the relative cost of the majority of the electric power <br />received by the metropolitan area, will increase in the future. <br />65. Wood fiber presently provides a significant amount of energy to the metropolitan area. <br />The continued utilization of this alternative energy source will be influenced by the <br />economic and resource conditions affecting the lumber industry and by the air quality <br />conditions and regulations affecting the metropolitan area. <br />-76. Municipal waste can serve as an indirect energy source through the energy savings <br />resulting from the recycling of nonrenewable resources such as metals and glass <br />containers. <br />97. Solar energy can provide a significant amount of the energy used for the metropolitan <br />area hot water heating and can provide cost-effective supplementary space heating when <br />used in basic, simple, passive systems. <br />'t'; Apprnvtimn+clY. 74 1aepeC*ti n~ ,ll er_gy iir-the--Fnr p .41'cl{' axea Is <br />Ecr%ztsi:}z~r~p <br />automobile use, Phis, is the, afgnr~f~t unnsurned b.Y nr <r n RV r~Y~°o <br />k3 i ei 00 r ~l•-} }l~nn nl TP erec t_oo of tha nv~r..lvrrlr n.. r.rf~i ad far a cr >_r1 ]_il or-~i+_ the <br />~ynr~n~~F [-~rcc1 Ar~:[~: .~[~s <br />448. An electrical generation facility which is powered by part of an industrial process <br />(cogeneration) is presently operating in the metropolitan area. Additional opportunities <br />for cogeneration facilities exist in the region. <br />4-29. Waste heat from metropolitan area industrial processes can be used for space heating of <br />nearby buildings. <br />f <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 255 <br />
