Subject:Comments on PSE"s Energize Eastside permit application
Date:Thursday, April 12, 2018 9:09:50 AM
Dear Ms. Ding,
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. $1 Billion on PSE
project or $3 million by putting solar on 100 homes. Which is the more fiscally responsible way to go? Both
generate the energy needed and deliver the energy needs that PSE needs. Which way should the voters spend their
money?
Please notify me when any Renton public hearing for this project is announced.
Sincerely,
Warren Raven
