Mr. Dudley:

What about the environment? Going back to the days of Republican Governor Tom McCall’s Bottle Bill and Beach Bill, Oregon has a built a national reputation of being on the cutting edge of protecting the environment. What will be your beach bill or bottle bill?

I thought either PGE or Pacificorps experienced record profits just a couple of years ago (this is easy to see in their annual reports) while at the same time getting more customers than ever to pay higher rates for green energy. True?

And didn't the utilites support the RPS passed in 2007?

Investing in renewables creates a homegrown job base AND will drive the market price down. Don't forget: coal is subsidized.

If we need more energy: where do we want it to come from? We need to make responsible choices today for Oregon's tomorrow.
