Fantastic and valid points, though I think pkulak also has a fair point in identifying that this big picture setup negatively impacts folks in Portland via air pollution and other side effects of more coal plants than would otherwise be required.
- asdff 6y agoOn the other hand, that energy has to come from some place and this set up negatively impacts someone no matter where the coal plant is located. Maybe the coal comes from the cascades and it makes more sense to put the plant close to the source, rather than somewhere near LA and have to freight in the coal from the mines and deal with those externalities that might be worse than simply running a wire to LA.
