Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, I strongly urge you to refuse to cave to pressure from special interests and reject the false story that new gas plants are the only option to meet an increase in electricity demand. At this time of climate emergency, we absolutely cannot afford to delay fully transitioning to a clean energy future. We have the technologies that can meet power requirements at a lower cost than dirty and dated gas plants, and thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and state leadership, we also have new investments and policy tools to get there. We just need utilities, as well as grid operators and state regulators like you, to choose reliability and affordability over false justifications for outdated energy sources. We should not, cannot, and must not let utilities use America’s economic momentum as an excuse to build more gas power plants, which would lead to a massive increase in climate pollution. Please do everything in your power to refuse these schemes and act in accordance with what American customers want, which is more energy cost regulation, more affordable power, and utilities investing in clean energy options. Thank you, Phoenix Oaks OR peaceloveandart89@gmail.com | |||||

Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, David Booth adds that we intend to get solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall as soon as we can afford it to help reduce electrical demand and support the existing grid. Do you know about Tesla's virtual power plant and how it offsets peak demands by acting as the best peaker plant money can buy for no extra cost at all?

That’s why I’m asking you to reject the false story that new gas plants are the only option to meet an increase in electricity demand.

We just need utilities, as well as grid operators and state regulators like you, to choose reliability and affordability over false justifications for outdated energy sources. We are experiencing Runaway Warming now, not 100 years from now. It is critical for our immediate future to get off fossil fuels asap. This is a fact, very well researched, and we are seeing the evidence right before our eyes. Ice sheets and glaciers are melting much faster than predicted 20 years ago, temperatures are breaking records much faster than predicted. We are facing a climate emergency, it's not an unknown, it is happening. Look at the most recent findings and warnings from experts. We are now at 426 ppm of co2 in the atmosphere, and rising faster each year. Experts in the 1990's said we will face climate catastrophe if we pass 400 ppm. Nobody wants to talk about this or face it, there is a mental block in people when it comes to facing major changes. Develop more geothermal energy plants. They provide a predictable amount of power 24 hrs a day regardless of the wind or sun, and take up less space, and don't require massive batteries to store the power. Build hundreds of geothermal plants. In addition to solar on homes and buildings and wind where possible. It will require a complex of things not one single solution. And fossil fuels just have to end, we have no choice. Fossil fuel companies need to transition to emissions free energy production, they can change and still make their money selling power. We should not, cannot, and must not let utilities use America’s economic momentum as an excuse to build more gas power plants, which would lead to a massive increase in climate pollution and costs for customers.

Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, As my state’s regulator, you’re tasked with protecting me and other utility customers from unjust utility bills and unnecessary cost increases. That’s why I’m asking you to reject the false story that new gas plants are the only option to meet an increase in electricity demand. We have the technologies that can meet power requirements at a lower cost than dirty and dated gas plants, and thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and state leadership, we also have new investments and policy tools to get there. We just need utilities, as well as grid operators and state regulators like you, to choose reliability and affordability over false justifications for outdated energy sources. We should not, cannot, and must not let utilities use America’s economic momentum as an excuse to build more gas power plants, which would lead to a massive increase in climate pollution and costs for customers.

As Oregon continues to give these companies access to land to build data centers, which also don’t provide much in the way of jobs, they should be held more responsible for paying for the grid to be built out. Also the federal and local government should hold responsibility for this as well, instead of continuing to spike our electric bills through the roof, especially while inflation continues simmering. https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2024/06/amazon-scraps-plan-to-use-fuel-cells-powered-by-natural-gas-to-run-oregon-data-centers.html | ||

Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, As my state’s regulator, you’re tasked with protecting utility customers from unjust utility bills and unnecessary cost increases. Please don't buy into the false story that new gas peaker plants are the only option to meet increases in electricity demand. Solar with batteries in April through October, and increased hydro-electric in Winter, can together meet power requirements at a lower cost than dirty and dated gas plants. Batteries allow simple daily control to match supply and demand, making old-fashioned and expensive peaker plants totally unnecessary. We should not let utilities waste America’s economic opportunities in order to build more gas power plants, which would lead to a massive increase in climate pollution and costs for customers. I urge you to do everything in your power to rebuff these schemes and act in accordance with what American customers want, which is more affordable power, and investment in renewable energy options.

Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, As my state’s regulator, you’re tasked with protecting me and other utility customers from unjust utility bills and unnecessary cost increases. That’s why I’m asking you to reject the false story that new gas plants are the only option to meet an increase in electricity demand. We have the technologies that can meet power requirements at a lower cost than dirty and dated gas plants, and thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and state leadership, we also have new investments and policy tools to get there. We just need utilities, as well as grid operators and state regulators like you, to choose reliability and affordability over false justifications for outdated energy sources. We should not, cannot, and must not let utilities use America’s economic momentum as an excuse to build more gas power plants, which would lead to a massive increase in climate pollution and costs for customers.

Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, As my state’s regulator, I expect you to keep the price of electricity down, NOT approve EVERT attempt by PGE to gouge monopolized customers with absurd increases every year.Let;s put this in perspective: the increase in Social Security lats year was 3.2%; you approved an increase to PGE rates at 18% so PGE's shareholders could bet better returns and PGE's CEO could make more than his 6 million dollars annually with stock rewards, too.you’re tasked with protecting me and other utility customers from unjust utility bills and unnecessary cost increases.

Dear Oregon Public Utility Commission, As my state’s regulator, you’re tasked with protecting me and other utility customers from unjust utility bills and unnecessary cost increases. That’s why I’m asking you to reject the false story that new gas plants are the only option to meet an increase in electricity demand. We have the technologies that can meet power requirements at a lower cost than dirty and dated gas plants, and thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and state leadership, we also have new investments and policy tools to get there. We just need utilities, as well as grid operators and state regulators like you, to choose reliability and affordability over false justifications for outdated energy sources. We should not, cannot, and must not let utilities use America’s economic momentum as an excuse to build more gas power plants, which would lead to a massive increase in climate pollution and costs for customers. I urge you to do everything in your power to refuse these schemes and act in accordance with what American customers want, which is more energy cost regulation, more affordable power, and utilities investing in clean energy options.
