A CHANCE TO ACT--SIGN THIS PETITION!

Puget Sound Energy plans to spend billions of dollars to buy carbon allowances and keep polluting rather than to do anything about getting to net zero by 2050.  

The Washington Clean Energy Coalition has created a petition so that every ratepayer and concerned individual can comment on this horrible plan.  It can show that people are upset and are paying attention.  It needs to be signed by June 5, 5pm.  In the Coalition's words: 

“Customers of Puget Sound Energy as well as a healthy environment and future generations would be harmed by the company's plan to continue emitting huge quantities of greenhouse gases for the next 26 years.

Instead of addressing the problem, PSE would charge customers $10 billion to pay for carbon allowances required to permit these emissions.  That's more than the company would spend maintaining and modernizing our energy grid during the next quarter century!  Although PSE claims its plan is the "second lowest cost" option of the alternatives it studied, PSE uses an accounting trick to defer the costs of reducing emissions until after 2050, placing that burden on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren.

Washington Clean Energy Coalition, the sponsor of this petition, has submitted detailed comments and recommendations to PSE's regulator, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission.  

By signing this petition, you are urging the Commission to reject PSE's terrible fossil fuel powered plan.  Join us in our call for a cleaner energy future, lower and more stable energy costs, a healthier environment, and a lighter burden for our children and grandchildren.”
