(SitNews) - The Senate Resources Committee announced today they
will hold a special hearing Wednesday morning to highlight low-cost
ways Alaskans can save energy and money. The hearing will be

the committee.
The public is invited to submit questions for energy experts
from the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation on energy-saving
strategies. Questions can be sent to Senator Bill Wielechowski
and should be received by 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.
"I urge people to tune in to Gavel to Gavel, or if you're
in Juneau, to come to the Capitol Wednesday morning to get some
valuable information about how to reduce home energy costs,"
said Senator Wielechowski. "All over Alaska, people are
struggling with extremely high energy costs, and at this meeting
we hope to provide them with some good ideas to help save money."
"Simple techniques can pay big dividends when it comes to
energy efficiency," added Senator Lesil McGuire, R-Anchorage,
co-chair of the Resources Committee. "Investing in educating
Alaskans about how to use energy more efficiently is a priority
in our omnibus energy plan. The information presented on Wednesday
will provide an introduction to the broader strategy we hope
to pass this session."
The purpose of the hearing is to show Alaskans simple, low-cost
methods to reduce energy costs at home and at work. Presenting
these strategies to the committee will be Cary Bolling from the
Energy Program at the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation.
The hearing is open to the public, and begins at 10:00 am, Wednesday,
March 3rd, in the Butrovich Room (205) of the Alaska State Capitol.
It is expected to be broadcast live on the legislative television
channel, Gavel to Gavel.
The State Senate Resources
Committee will host the special hearing on Wednesday, March 3,
