7) Energy Transportation & Distribution
8) Public Acceptance

Notes:
o It is the intention of the Taskforce to, like COE II, to create an Infrastructure Alternatives Matrix. Such a Matrix should allow for the individual assessment of Energy Infrastructure modes and a comparative ranking of modes.
o Meetings of Group Chairs will be bi-monthly, with Group schedules (weekly?) to be confirmed to COE III Staff by Chairs. Working Calendar below.
o Working Group titles and foci have yet to be fully solidified, specifically regarding “alternative” & “distributed” generation. Also, large gaps in Group memberships/participants remain and will need to be filled by Group Chairpersons. Finally, “industry experts” – those who may have detailed information regarding infrastructural capabilities &/or needs – will need to be contacted by Chairman or Group Chairs.
Next Meeting Date:
Oct 14 Tuesday
