Purpose:
Bristol will maintain its quality of life by committing itself to changes for its energy fu- ture. This is a critical time for encouraging and supporting renewable energy sources and promoting energy efficiency. Energy prices are expected to rise and consume a larger part of household, business and municipal budgets. To keep Bristol an affordable place to live, the town will ask the Energy Committee to take the lead in researching and reporting back to the Selectboard about energy-saving possibilities.
