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,
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,
Ciara Preston

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
We are already seeing the effects of climate change brought on by burning fossil fuels and coal. We need to move
away from those energy resources towards renewables. Please do not reject this effort to continue using coal as a
source of energy.

Dear Idaho Public Utilities Commission,
I am an Idaho native, and we need to be leaders in the Clean Energy movement. We have so much to protect here,
including our air. Please, when making impactful decisions about our environment, think of the future generations.
Think of the clean air YOU breathe, and how that should be a right for ALL.
