问题     St. Paul has transformed soaring energy costs into a golden opportunity for economic development by putting the final touches on plans to:
    1. Build the nation’s first system that will heat all major downtown buildings with waste heat now being dumped into the Mississippi River by electric utilities.
    2. Create a & 9-million "energy bank"to lend money to improve the energy efficiency of homes at low 9-to-11-percent interest rates.
    3. Construct the nation’s first "energy park". The area will include only those commercial, residential, and industrial facilities that are doing something energy-related. More than & 150-million worth of commit-ments has already been lined up.
    These developments did not just happen. They resulted when Mayor George Latimer asked volunteers to chart a new future for a city that is twice as cold as New York. "We cannot any longer look to foreign nations,old companies or the federal government to solve our energy crisis,"Latimer told his constituents. "We must look to ourselves to find the answers."

解析 题目问:该计划是由什么人提出的?最后一段第二句“They resulted when Mayor George Latimerasked volunteers to chart a new future for a city that is twice as cold as New York.”通过这句话可知,当志愿者被要求提供他们的想法时,他们提出了这一计划。所以,答案是C。
