Encourage LPEA to move away from coal

Ballots for the LPEA election will be mailed out the week of April 17. If you live in town (District 3), please vote to re-elect Britt Bassett, who has ably represented us for the last six years. We need to encourage LPEA to move away from power generated by dirty coal plants — a majority of the production of Tri-State — and toward natural gas and renewables that will keep our air clean. The cost of coal is no longer less than solar or wind, so if LPEA wishes to abide by their mission statement to “provide reliable electricity at the lowest reasonable cost,” they have some changes to make.

Please join me in supporting Britt Bassett for the LPEA board.
