Public utility districts (PUDs) are community-owned, locally-regulated utilities that are formed by a vote of the people. East King County needs a PUD.

U.S. power plants are poised to reap their best summertime profits in nearly two decades thanks to soaring electricity prices. Profits are set to quadruple. Why do we continue to put basic utilities in the hands of for-profit corporations? https://t.co/ggYc3dOBp8

Windfall will come at expense of homes and businesses. Potential beneficiaries could include ArcLight, Blackstone, Vistra and NRG.

More discussion of "renewable natural gas." ...there is nothing to suggest that this program will have any impact on the overall amount of landfill gas produced or consumed - (just) "credit" for that gas is being reallocated. https://t.co/JyglkyvQlo -Mark Trexler, The Climate Web

" Immediate, deep reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are required.. and we need to electrify everything and power it with clean energy." PSE is building more dirty energy plants. Go local PUD! #cleanenergy #localgov #PublicUtility #climateaction
The IPCC's latest #climatecrisis report was sobering to say the least. But #ORClimateAction has made some great strides and more innovative climate solutions are getting press coverage, and that's worth celebrating. #ActOnClimate

Thank you!
We were happy to host a fundraiser last week for @EkcPud. We are an all volunteer group that gets some staffing support from @STCActionFund for 501c4 political work and @sharethecities for 501c3 education work. This fundraiser was supported by the Action Fund.

What's the missing ingredient? Political will. Time to take local control of our energy on the Eastside. https://t.co/5X11Du58bf

The East King County PUD would have priority access to clean energy from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) on day 1 – years before PSE is even considering reducing its carbon emissions. Sign the petition today!
The past year’s snowstorms and heatwaves pushed us to our limits, but #hydropower responded and proved why we need it more than ever in an ever-changing climate. #HydroFlowsHere #PublicPower

Investor owned utilities make a profit by building more infrastructure— public utilities, as community-owned institutions, don’t share the same incentives to maximize profits. "Forbes 2019" PSE is a bad deal! Sign petition for an East King County PUD. https://t.co/j9RNi3PQMX

Did you know PSE is raising it's rates? Who gets your money? PSE is owned by Canadian Investment Corps and foreign pension funds. They make money when you pay more for your power. Sign now for non-profit local control on the ballot. https://t.co/tXaSUJMnXQ
