Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Climate change is real and advancing exponentially. We all must do our part to reduce emissions.
I am writing to urge you to not accept the Rocky Mountain Power 2021 Integrated Resource Plan for filing. As one
of the region?s largest utilities?and largest polluters?the actions of this utility impact our entire state and all Idaho
utility customers like me. Rocky Mountain Power?s Plan relies on continued coal use even in the face of declining
coal economics and Clean Air Act violations at its coal plants. It also relies on last minute plans to build new gas
pipelines and convert some coal plants to gas, even in the face of highly volatile future gas prices. Lastly, it relies
on a last minute plan to build a new nuclear power facility using never-before-used technology with an unrealistic
timeline and budget. This all represents a huge risk for Idaho's future, from our air and the impacts of climate
change down to our pocketbooks.
Our state's other public utilities, Avista and Idaho Power, plan to stop burning coal by 2025 and 2028, respectively,
and are doubling down on investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and tested storage technology. It?s
unfair for Idaho customers whose only electric utility option is Rocky Mountain Power to face additional risks and
costs from their utility?s reckless planning. Idahoans deserve a utility Plan that ensures least cost and least risk
energy supply that is based in reality and thoughtful planning, not wishful false solutions. Please reject Rocky
Mountain Power?s 2021 Integrated Resource Plan.
Sincerely,
William Blair

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Rocky Mtn Power needs to convert to renewable energy within the next two decades. Their continued usage of coal
is unacceptable. Their 20 year plan should not be approved as is.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
I urge you to reject Rocky Mountain Power?s plan and demand a plan that accurately represents transition timelines
to coal workers and communities, prepares Idaho for a climate resilient future, and invests in the untapped potential
of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and tested storage technology.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
We do not have 20 years to allow coal burning to continue. The alarm is ringing NOW. Climate action must be fast
tracked to avert the worst consequences of climate change. Please do not allow this foot-dragging to continue.
