Subject:Comments on PSE"s Energize Eastside permit application
Date:Friday, March 16, 2018 4:49:22 PM
Dear Ms. Ding,
As a former nuclear power plant operator I can tell you PSE has never properly justified the
CURRENT need for this expensive expansion.
As a former president of a local software firm, I feel this PSE expansion is a business
manipulation for profits and not in the long term financial interest of us rate payers.
I am writing to ask that the city NOT approve PSE's application to build Energize Eastside
because:
1. It is unnecessary and wasteful of ratepayer funds.
2. It is risky to install tall power poles within feet of two half-century-old petroleum pipelines.
3. It damages communities and the environment by removing thousands of valuable urban
trees.
4. There are less costly ways to enhance the reliability and resiliency of the Eastside power
grid.
Please notify me when any Bellevue public hearing for this project is announced.
Sincerely,
Donald Ray
