PSE Integrated Resource Plan Hearing at UTC

Join me and hundreds of other concerned citizens as well as groups such as 350.org, Backbone, Redefine Tacoma, Indigenous environmental activists, Puyallup Tribal Nation, Puyallup Water Warriors, Carbon-Free Vashon, Indivisible Vashon, Vashon Climate Group, Students for the Salish Sea, the Sierra Club and many more – let your voice be heard. Ask for a path to 100% renewable energy now!

Public comments will start at 1:30pm. Get there by 1pm to sign in if you’d like to speak.

Let’s ask the Utilities and Transportation Commissioners to direct Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to increase their renewable energy mix to help mitigate climate change – it’s in the public’s and planet’s interest.

PSE’s 20-year plan recommends:

Gas Peaker plants, Tacoma’s Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) plant, gas from British Columbia, and continued operation of coal-generated electricity from Colstrip.

THE TIME IS NOW to influence what kind of power Puget Sound Energy will offer us in the future.
