Acknowledgments

NRDC wishes to thank the Energy Foundation and the Mertz Gilmore Foundation for their generous support of this project. As with all of our work, the support of NRDC's 300,000 members was invaluable to the completion of this project.

Many colleagues at NRDC and other institutions made important contributions to the research, writing, and production of this study. The authors gratefully acknowledge thoughtful comments from Catherine Aman, Ariane Van Buren, Ben De Angelo, Ashok Gupta, and Karen O'Malley. We appreciate the constructive suggestions of many utility industry reviewers who do not necessarily endorse the report's conclusions. Also invaluable were the diligence and expertise of Evelyn Arévalo and Laura Cholodenko in preparing the report for publication.
