"The object of the contest Is to encourage conservation of conventional energy through the utilization of alternate energy sources," Mr. Whittaker said. "Utah Power encourages development of alternate renewable energy systems such as solar, geothermal, wind, low-head hydro and garbage." "It is Important for students to explore new Ideas through research, experimentation and projects design," said Margaret Oler, regional contest coordinator. "The contest students are asked to explain their project to a panel of judges and respond to judges' questions."
