Comment from Streeter, Dave
Dear Northwest Power and Conservation Council,
I am very concerned about climate change. I believe that the costs in cash and intangibles that more volatile weather will incur are far greater than the cost of mitigation measures.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Please do everything you can in the 6th Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including:
Set strong targets for energy efficiency.
Phase out power plants that burn coal.
Set strong targets for renewable energy.
Set a baseline price estimate for carbon.
Set regional goals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Sincerely,
Dave Streeter
