SSC's Clean Energy
Campaign
In
cooperation with the Madison Clean Energy Coalition, SSC's Clean Energy
Campaign seeks to advocate the end of dirty, coal-powered energy on
campus. This campaign has 5 stated requirements of the university:
1) That the total amount of pollution emitted as a result of the University's
energy production activities be less than or equal to the amount that
would be produced where all campus energy generated via clean natural
gas.
2) That all energy generated via non-renewable resources come from within
Dane County.
3) That the university meet the recommendations of the Governor's Task
Force on Renewable Energy; namely that the university procure 10% of
its total electricity through renewable resources by 2006, and 20% by
2010
4) That, at all times, the health of the campus community be the first
priority in determining the order in which energy generation resources
are used.
5) That the university, in general, cease its practice of burning coal
for energy without modern pollution controls.
