Acknowledgements
We would like to recognize the contributions made by those others whose hard work helped make this paper complete. In particular we would like to thank the management and staff of Renewable Northwest Project. Special appreciation to Rachel Shimshak, Director, and Diane Eidenberg, Office Manager. They not only provided access to their files, helping greatly in gathering materials, but a myriad of services.
It is important to thank the utilities and others whose research contributed the basic data for much of this paper. The work they do in tracking and understanding customers interest bodes well for the industry in the Northwest. It is strong evidence of the industry's desire to meet their objectives as public entities to provide public benefits.
Doug Untalan provided assistance with research and contacts. He got the project off the ground in the midst of a very busy schedule which made it much easier to complete than it would otherwise have been.
Finally, Dr. Barbara Farhar reviewed the paper and made many very useful suggestions, which helped improve the work immensely. We did not take all her advice, as it would have necessitated narrowing the scope of the work, though it no doubt would have improved its scientific value. We appreciate her great insight and dedication to the field more than she could know.
