We plan to serve residents of Olympia with 95% clean electricity twenty years before PSE is forced to give up its fossil fuel habit. We plan to achieve 95% fossil free electricity within five years. Our Better Alternative to PSE: Our city-owned electric utility would rely more on federal hydropower, and we could create "green" energy sources.This means that by 2030 PSE will still be 20% fueled by fossil fuels and will not approach 100% clean energy until 2045. We would provide clean energy and a dramatic reduction in our carbon emissions from electricity: Puget Sound Energy (PSE) currently sells us electricity derived 59% from fossil fuels and plans to continue doing so as long as it possibly can, even under Washington's 100% Clean Electricity Act.Local folks are organizing a campaign for the City of Olympia and other local cities to replace Puget Sound Energy here with a successful locally owned electric utility that will provide lower rates, better reliability, and sustainable energy - and will be accountable to the public instead of foreign stockholders. A City-Owned Electric Utility Would Help Olympia's People.
