It is the basis of huge industries with vast global financial and political power. The development of a comprehen sive state energy policy is an innovative and essential element in good public policy malting. The evolution of Energy Policy in Arizona: A Planfor Sustainable Developmentwas possible only with the help of many individuals. My thanks are extended to Jenny Norton of the Arizona House of Representatives for the vision, interest and continuous support that caused this committee to be created and to complete its task on schedule. At Jenny's insistence, the committee was composed of diverse interests-which has proven to be its greatest strength and at times, many thought its greatest curse. The diversity of its members has led to long and heated discussions which has promoted the development of a broad consensus upon priorities and actions. Next, I would like to thank the committee members. These people gave almost continuously of their time, energy, and expertise. Facing a seemingly endless array of public policy considerations, to where near the end of our work it seemed as though all we did was attenq meetings and review the hundreds of pages of documentation provided to the committee. As a benefit of the committee's broad area of expertise relative to the production, distribution, and consumption of energy, the committee could function largely as their own resource. Where the committee felt additional input was necessary, presentations by experts were arranged, including: John R Balfour, Assistant Marketing Manager, AEG Westinghouse Transportation Systems, International Magnetic Transit of America, Inc. David Beny, Chief, Economics & Research, Arizona Corporation Commission Hany Braun, Research Analyst, Trans Energy Corporation Thomas G.

Many of the final recommendations of this report were first mentioned or reinforced at these informal workshops. My special thanks goes to the hundreds of Arizonans who in a series of public hearings held in Flagstaff, Yuma, Tucson, Tempe, and Prescott, took the time and energy to review and comment upon the committee's work. At the end, it was the views of those stalwart Arizonans who recognized the importance of our mission, that weighed most heavily upon the essence of the document. But, it was the assistance given by the Arizona Energy Office staff that provided the greatest support to our committee. This included: secretarial support provided by Becky Edgar Nelson and Mabel Brown who sat through countless meetings furiously scribbling notes of the committee's actions, impressions, and directions; guidance and work on planning, logistics, and media issues related to the public input process, which was provided by Maureen Bureson and Joan Laurence; overall direction of the staff and guidance on issues of governmental affairs, provided by Jerry Dion. The committee is particularly indebted to Michael Walters for his efforts at drafting and re-drafting the document-often with limited direction. The committee's editorial committee, consisting of Mark Ginsberg, Doug Brooks, and Dennis Beals for Marty Shultz, took time in the waning holiday hours of December to put the finishing touches upon the document.
