NWEC & Climate Solutions Comments on NPCC CO2 Report.pdf

On Sept. 13, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council sounded a regional call-to-arms on global warming. Its paper, “Carbon Dioxide Footprint of the Northwest Power System,” declares that achieving the steep reductions in carbon dioxide emissions scientists say are needed to avoid catastrophic climate change will require closure of ALL coal-fueled power plants in the Northwest.

We invited readers to submit comments on the report. These are NW Energy Coalition's and Climate Solution's official comments.
