Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Every year, I experience the same things: smoke from Idaho wildfires closes down sports and school, increasing
summer and winter temperatures means less snowfall and snowpack, drought, flooding, heavy rain, and hail which
reduces crop yield. Future generations should not have to live like this. As a current 17-year-old, the decisions that
come from utility companies will affect my kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.
Now is the time to transition out of coal and into natural gas and other renewables such as solar, hydro, and wind.
While transitioning to renewables may be more costly, it will benefit the Idaho and world communities more. Your
kids and my kids need to grow up in a world and Idaho that is not polluted.
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.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Hello,
It's as simple as this: coal needs to go. Quickly.
Aside from the regional health and global climate change impacts that are abundantly clear, you can look at your
own cost risks and see that climate change = droughts = risk to hydropower.
The alternative, right here and now, is solar and wind. We have enough hydro (droughts notwithstanding) to
compensate for weather fluctuations of those sources.
As a utility, your job is to serve your customers and the best way to do that is ditch coal.
Thanks,
John

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
It is outrageous that in this day and age we are still using coal for power. Climate change is unquestionably real and
with multiple alternatives for power available, it is criminal to even consider accepting this request. Like a spoiled
child who is never disciplined, Rocky Mountain Power has no incentive to change their strategy until someone says
"NO." PUC, please stop the madness and just say "NO!"

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
I am thankful and proud to live in Idaho, though I did not grow up here. I love this state and hope to spend the rest of
my life here. But I fear for our state and our country because of climate change.
My eyes were opened to climate change these last couple of summers when the smoke from wildfires was so thick
that I had to keep my two young daughters inside for days, telling them the air was too bad for them to play outside.
For a few days the smoke was so bad my employer shut down operations and I lost out on work. The more I?ve
learned about climate change, I now know that we must fight it with everything we have, and make as much
progress as soon as possible. I?m worried that we?re running out of time.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
With our current global climate crisis It would seem imperative that all future development in energy generation
should be focused on alternatives to the antiquated burning of fossil fuels in the generation of electric power. We
have a wonderful opportunity to direct our development towards alternatives such as solar, wind, and more
environmentally friendly electric generation and storage. In short, we need a plan that cares more for God's creation
and less about the profits of large corporations.
Idaho deserves an energy plan that serves Idaho, not corporate profits. We need 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,
I think climate change is an existential problem for life as we know it. The Earth is warming more than most
models predicted, not less. Any action that encourages burning coal to generate electricity for people to use seems
like a bad idea and one that should be discouraged. What I've read about Rocky Mountain Power's proposal looks to
be going in the wrong direction.
I'll admit to being uncertain about Rocky Mountain Power's proposal for fission generation of electricity long term.
I understand that solar and wind won't always supply power for the grid, but I also remember people in New Mexico
(where I grew up) contracting serious diseases and dying from mining fissile materials. Energy storage seems less
dangerous to me and I'd like to see it encouraged.

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.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
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,

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Please REJECT the lazy and backward plan to continue coal-burning electricity generation as proposed by Rocky
Mountain Power in their 20-year plan. Idaho deserves better from industries that operate in Idaho. Burning coal
puts mercury into the air, surface waters, and aquatic wildlife and organisms, hence into my body. This is
completely unacceptable. I am a cancer survivor. Such reckless industry practices, likely causing my cancer, should
not be continued, especially since we KNOW their effects on the environment and human health.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission Members,
While Idaho Power and other utilities are moving to renewable, clean energy before 2040, Rocky Mountain Power
is moving in the opposite direction. The latest report by the IPCC and Idaho's Climate Change Economic Impact
reports, show that we must move to clean energy if we want our planet, economy and humans to be healthy. Idaho
Power is showing that this is not only possible, but can be profitable.
There is no long term economic reason to move in the opposite direction. Please reject Rocky Mountain Power's
Plan to continue to burn coal.
Best regards,
Laurie Zuckerman
