CONSORTIUM TO STUDY THE IMPACT OF ENERGY DEVELOPMENT

The newly formed Consortium on Energy Impacts "CEI was formed to develop research programs that (CEI), a group whose interests focus on the issues address the environmental, social, and economic surrounding energy development in the intermountain issues surrounding energy development in Colorado, west, held a planning meeting in the Fleischmann Utah, and Wyoming," James (Skip) Spensley (CEI's Building on 25 February. Initially conceived and program director) told Staff Notes. "If energy organized by UCAR as a Corporate Program, CEI development is to proceed in an orderly fashion, participants include the Universities of Colorado, there will have to be close communication and Utah, and Wyoming, Colorado School of Mines, Utah interaction between groups whose values and inter- State University, Colorado State University, and ests may be in competition or conflict.
