1.  Benton County Commissioner Jerome Delvin
2.   Steve Simmons - This is crazy and its immoral. Regardless of how you feel about the global warming issue, replacing clean carbon free hydro and nuclear power with clean carbon free power that costs more than 3 times as much depletes resources that could be used to further fund other environmental initiatives.
3.   Thomas Mackay - I totally support the idea that utilities and especially rate payers should not be forced to purchase unneeded high priced power just to support a green industry. We cannot afford this luxury.
4.   Leslie Hanford - Way to go - somebody needed to step up to the plate and do this!!
5.   Washington State Representative Brad Klippert

10.   John Crook
11.   John Hubbard - As a city councilman for the City of Kennewick, I support energy conservation including the conservation of the energy expended by workers who purchase renewable electricity.power produced by Columbia and Snake River dams..
12.   Kelli Raines
13.   Ashley Bennington-Coronado
14.   Donna Burt - If water is not a renewable in the NW, then why should ratepayers pay more money for other renewable resources!
15.   Jennifer Kelly
16.   Jeff Kelly
17.   Port of Benton Commissioner Roy D. Keck - Utilities should NOT have to replace cheaper hydro power with expensive renewable power for existing loads. Utilities new future loads should be fill with renewables per I-937.
18.   Rick Dunn
19.   Bob Tippett - Low cost energy derived from an economically sound, rational, dependable and renewable power supply has been a key economic driver for the Pacific Northwest. This will continue to be the case as we go into the future. Let's be sure to fight for the continued use and expanded use of our hydroelectric dams and replace the horribly inefficient wind power with a more reliable, efficient, clean and safe power sources such as nuclear Power.

30.   Lance Hobson
31.   Ed Brost - Thank you for leadership on this issue. Adding wind power or other renewables smartly is logical and makes common sense. Forcing ratepayers to buy wind power that they don't need is a costly, unaffordable transfer of ratepayers dollars to wind power corporations, bad public policy and should be stopped. Many of those dollars turn into political contributions to misguided politicians which lead to more bad, unsupportable policies. Thank you for taking the lead in stopping some of the insanity.
32.   William B. Monroe - Export excess power to other users
33.   Susan Smith
34.   Don Jacobsen - Another case of voters not understanding whey they are voting for. I-937 was a bad idea.
35.  Nicholas S. Doyle - We have a beautiful countryside, but wind farms are trashing it.
36.  Robert Hunziker - Ratepayers should not be required to pay higher rates just so that intermittent power suppliers (wind/solar) can dump their   un-needed energy on the electric grid esp at a time when ratepayers are hurting in a down economy. 
37.  Nita Hamilton - 1. We should not be forced to pay for unneeded power. 2. Hydroelectric power is green; that's what I use in Deer Park. 3. I'm a Democrat.
38.   Glen Fillafer - Good luck.
39.   Jason Brinkley
40.   Lillian W. Omberg
41.   Evan Edwards

43.   William E. Farris
44.   Amy Brown
45.   Peter Johnson
46.   Clark Wilkins - No more windmills.
47.   Carmen Stafford - Ridiculous to pay for power we don't need, at a high cost, no less.
48.   Mike Robertson
49.   Harrison Kerschner
50.   Russell Wheelhouse
51.   Gerald D. Hall - I can't see paying for expensive wind and solar power, when we already have an excess of nuclear and hydro. Hydro power is just as renewable as wind or solar. Water is used by the dams, flows on to the ocean, evaporates and returns to the rivers via rain or snow. Can't get more renewable than that!
52.   John Behrens - Agree wholeheartedly
53.   Andrew Watson
54.  Jack Robinson - Might work in some parts of the country, but not in the Northwest! Typical government waste mentality!
55.   Ron Stephens
56.   Karen Burn - I'm very confused on why hydro is not considered a renewable resource...it makes no sense to me.
57.   William & Virginia McKenna
58.   Sue Carver - Hydropower IS renewable energy. It is only politics that have excluded it from that category.
59.   Sharon Fitzpatrick
60.   A. Burton Johnson - Let's be reasonable. Forced to buy power not needed only adds to our economic woes - a penaly we can ill afford. Let's put this law on a basis that makes sense.

79.   Nik Foster
80.   Heather Hoppe
81.   Eugene A. Foster - Let the market work, get well meaning politicians out of the energy business.
82.   Jeffrey E. Lembcke
83.   Linda Esparza - I-937 was a well-intended but poorly thought out initiative. The citizens of Washington didn't get the whole story when they supported it. This change to the EIA will bring some common sense to its implementation.

94.    Joseph Binette
95.    Jill Kerl
96.    Donald Sanders
97.    Tom Burn - I believe that hydropower is an renewable energy source, at least as much as is the wind and/or sun. Also, the idea that, apparently in order to advance the cause of the "green" concept, requiring obtaining power from wind or solar projects when that power is not needed is ludicrous.

106.   Brian Slaybaugh
107.  Janet Marcum - Customers should not have to pay for power that utilities don't need to buy to serve us. A false market has been created with renewable energy credits.

188.     Mike Andriolo -  I-937 is NOT realistic for our Washington Utilities, It will increase electric rate for their customers.
189.     Sandra W. Armstrong - Legislation is needed to amend the Energy Independence Act's unintended consequences. Washington needs to keep energy rates low. Thank you!

215.   Walter Brewer - I support this petition 100% and the use of renewable power energy resources, Electric companies should not have to purchase these sources if not needed. Thus raising our rates!
216.   Kay A. Robbins - I'm on a limited income which is based on interest earned!!! I don't receive a retirement, only SS and my interests. I'm hurting financially.
217.   Robert J. Crotty - Our decisions need to make economic sense.
218.   Phil Clements
219.   Debra Clements - Please amend the legislation to remove the requirement that utilities must buy power they don’t need to serve their customers, thus protecting our rates.
220.  Peter Hanlon - We should not be penalized for what we are already doing right! And better than the rest of the nation!
221.  Dennis Alan Brown - It is time our citizens fight unreasonable and thoughtless decisions that impact on efficient green non profit utilities.

229.  Teri Urbat - Do you Representatives in Olympia ever get tired of putting more and more burdens on us. How much more inflation do you think we can handle.

230.  Terry Bonk

237.   Gail Johnson
238.   Candy Gintz - Keep our rates low!
239.   Doug Gintz
240.   Steve Stoyanac - Folks, please let common sense prevail. Considering the economy, many cannot afford today's power rates let alone an increase. Unless there is a benefit that offsets the cost of this law (and there is not) let's be realistic and change it.
241.  Frank Patrick - Please change the law to allow sensible changes to the EIA to protect ratepayers and keep the intent of the law. Thank You
242.   Linda Overhauser

246.   Keith R. Schafer
247.   Mark A. Johnson
248.   David Hockett - Wind energy provides no base load capacity, destabilizes energy grids and results in excessive costs to ratepayers. They have placed so many in the northwest because the wind companies can attach them to the existing Bonnevile Power transmission lines. The infrastructure costs are lower so they put them here even though there are better wind sites on the other side of the Rockies. It's a sham and I-937 gives them a captive market to sell their overpriced power to.
249.  Matt Mittelstaedt
250.  Susan M Taylor - I agree, it's make sense.
251.  Linda Eastham
252.  Wayne Eastham
253.   Anonymous - Please don't penalize electric companies and their customers who don't need the extra power by making them pay for eligible renewable power (or equivalent credits) that they don't need. Inland Power & Light Company works hard at finding and implementing all the options available to them and their customers already. Please don't burden us with more expense. Thank you for your consideration of my request.
254.   Chuck Watson - Looks like another boondoggle and idiotic political decision. Do not pay nor require payment until actual power is required to service customers. Be smart, for once!
255.  Neil A. Green - Please listen to our concerns.
256.  Patti Bishop - It is totally ridiculous to purchase unneeded power from "renewable" sources when we have plenty of RENEWABLE hydroelectric power available.
257.   Chester Jahns - I support this partition.
258.   Michael H. O'Leary
259.   Frank & Alice Jenks
260.  Anonymous - EIA needs to be ammended to recognize those utilities who are already ahead of the game when it comes to energy conservation.
261.    Rhonda Clouse - Fuel prices are gobbling up large portions of our income, you can only cut back so much. We don't want higher energy costs as well. I'm already keeping the heat lower than I ever have. The government of course does not understand the concept of cutting back.
262.   Robert Schmehl

267.   Cheryl Barclay
268.   Ervin & Faye Weiler - Don't force Inland Power to buy power that is not needed, thus forcing higher rates on the members they serve. Many, like ourselves, are seniors and/or low income. This creates an unnecessary financial hardship. Thank you.
269.   Anonymous - Please don't raise our power rate.
270.   Richard Jorges - I shouldn't have to pay twice for windmill power.
271.    Ron Broze
272.    Georgia Hensley - It is ridiculous to require power companies to buy power they don't need. The should consider having those power companies to buy the renewable power if they are presently using fossil fuels, and maybe cut back on the number of wind machines they have.

Inland Power is currently one of the greenest utilities in the country and is 92% renewable (including hydro) and 97% carbon free. For customers to pay greatly increased rates for unneeded power is a waste and unfair!
357.  Edward A. Ganey - IInland Power is already GREEN!! We don't need to use our retirement fixed income to pay for unneeded power.
358.  Cheryl Schwartz
359.  Larry Perkins - Olympia needs to keep their nose out of our utility company! Every time they get involved it costs us more!

416.    John Morris    
417.    Michael K & N Sue Murphy    
418.    James Finke - Do not use government regulation to raise the rates of electricity. Many of us are struggling already financially and we don't need the government to tell the utilities they have to pay more just because of the wind/solar type energy production mandated by the government. The Government can subsidize or otherwise not require the alternative which costs us all more.

859.  James Kearns - Simply another case of the elected representative not understanding what they are doing and hurting the people that put them there in the process…or perhaps they do understand and just don’t care.
860.  Deborah Walker - Hydro Power IS RENEWABLE energy and should be included as OTHER STATES as a renewable source so that rates for Washingtonians can remain lower when their energy provider uses Hydro Power as a PRIMARY form of providing electricity. In my region... BOTH Inland Power and Avista Utilities use hydro power primarily and currently are being 'penalized' to invest in other renewables thus raising the rates to their customers which is causing economic hardships to many. (I personally use Inland Power and work for Avista -- have used Avista in the past.)

Please consider revising the EIA to eliminate the requirement for utility companies to purchase eligible renewable power when they do not need it. I believe that the EIA can be modified without changing the overall intent of the law. Please seriously consider this change which is in the best interest of the citizens of this state.
891.  Jack Neumiller - This type of legislation should not be a catch-all for all power companies in the state and really should be amended to exclude certain utilities like Inland Power & Light. I don't want to pay for unneeded power when I don't have to.

984.  Mike Lehan - Inland Power & Light will soon become a victim of well-intentioned laws designed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and become more self reliant on green, alternative fuels. Regardless of it's intention, it will be another policy/law that will drive ratepayers away and cause those of us in steerage who are on a fixed income to make choices that will really bite; choices that force us to avoid medical expenses and prescription drugs in order to pay for more unnecessary regulatory reform that is not needed in the case of Inland; one of the greenest utilities in the state if not the nation. Please consider an amendment to exempt utilities who are limited in their production capacity as well as their massive ratio of existing 'green' power to total power.

By installing the wind power generators you are using up valuable farm land and have run out of business power unit that is burning wast from the forest industry. Now the saw mills once again have to find some way of getting rid of there wast products themselves. Please stop trying to fix something that ain't broke.

1053.  James & Ellen Hoffman - It makes no sense to force a utility to buy power it does not yet need, especially for a utility like Inland that is already 92% renewable and 97% carbon free. Furthermore, excluding clean, reliable, renewable hydropower in this law was not logical and should be reversed. Inland's use of existing hydropower is far less intrusive on the environment than adding wind farms whose power is intermittent and requires backup sources. Applying this law to a utility like Inland Power will not help the environment, but the raised rates will hurt individuals and the economy.
1054.  Margaret I. Sims

Colombini - As an Inland Power customer, I support Inland Power's sensible and cost-effective efforts to make changes to the EIA to protect my right to buy only the power that I need, not additional power that would serve only to increase my already stretched ability to pay. To force me to pay increased dollar amounts during the country's current situation, or in any situation, in not in my best interests nor in any of my neighbors best interests.

1233.  Jerome Reese - Please amend initiative 937 so that it doesn't force utilities to purchase renewable power that is not needed. Let's be good stewards of our resources and not force unnecessary expenses on to utility customers and waste resources.
1234.  Dee Peterschick - Water is already a renewable resource! It still rains!
1235.  William H. Fuller
1236.  Tom & Laura Beaver - Even an elementary student could tell us having the government force us to buy something we don't need makes no sense.
1237.  Jeff SeeInacht
1238.  Deborah Kay - Once again the unforeseen, and hopefully unintended, consequences of the law are harmful to the people/nation it is supposed to be preserving.

1240.  Mellody J. Descoteaux
1241.  David M. Fix
1242.  David Douglas Evans
1243.  Frank Baker
1244.  Tracy McArthur - Smaller electric companies that use mostly hydropower don't need to buy excess they don't need, especially co-ops.
1245.  Marie Gettmann
1246.  Alisa Brewer - Please do everything possible not to raise our rates.
1247.  Michael Schaff
1248.  Barbara Melville
1249.  Ron Ungari
1250.  Anonymous - I live with in sight of the new wind turbines in northern Whitman county, and now not only do I have to look at these eyesores, as a "non participating affected party" I will see my property value decrees and my electric cost increase. Something is not right about that!
1251.  Manuel Martinez Sr. - Tired of our legislators crap. remove all the windmills, which are eyesores!

1259.  Michael J. Lye Sr. - Why pay for something you have already paid for through tax dollars . Green energy is built with gov backing.
1260.  Paul E. Van Goron - We do not need to purchase renewable power when Inland Power already purchases over 90% of it power source from renewable energy sources. Legislators, why would you require Inland Power to purchase more renewable energy when it does not need it...and pass those additional and unnecessary costs onto me, the consumer? We are watching how you handle this situation and react at the polls, If you like being a legislator, conduct yourself in the best interest of the citizens...or lose your job.
1262.  Ron Broze
1263.  Kent Turner - Hydropower is renewable, just not 'politically correct'. Reasonable and real efforts are worth while, these mindless politically driven times are simply taxes by a different name. Pay more for poser just because.
1264.  Steven Clough - Inland power (my power provider) is already 92% renewable and 97% carbon free, it is wrong to hold them to additional requirements.
1265.  Corey Bryant
1266.  Rene' Wiley - Amend EIA to keep energy costs low
1267.  Emery Krahn

1276.  Patty Przybylski

1278.  Marilyn M. Russell - Raising power costs at this time is immoral. Too many people are suffering already from financial difficulties without added burden for power costs.
1279.  Glenn Miller
1280.  John Peterson - Please do not force our power rates to be increased unnecessarily.
1281.  Cynthia Maki
1282.  Barbara Skjothaug
1283.  Cynthia Jex
1284.  Kenneth & Cyndee Hildebrand - We do not need to buy more power from outside services. Just government trying to control the independent suppliers.
1285.  James Ball - One of the reasons we moved from our prior home state was the very high utility rates.
1286.  Mary B. Hunziker
1287.  Sandra Armstrong - I would hate to see rates increase unnecessarily like another company In the Spokane area. It's a shame and it's all about greed. I would like to see IPL and other companies avoid this at all costs.
1288.  Brenda L. Bacon -  The problem with our government now is all the unnecessary programs waisting dollars. If the power company is not in need of the credits then they should not have to buy! We as tax payers already pay for much unneeded programs.
1289.  Michelle Bagby
1290.  Carol Carier
1291.  Kathryn Ellis

1298.  Lynda Johnson - I petition you not to increase the electricity costs. I have a very hard time paying what it is now. Electricity is my only source of heat in the winter.
1299.  Chris Wollam
1300.  Gaye V. Havercroft
1301.  Harvey Longhurst - Common sense and decency dictates that a company not take advantage of its consumers. Thus charging consumers charges that are not incurred, MANDATED OR NOT in immoral and wrong no matter how it is considered. The consumer must be respected no mater the outcome, and the more respect the more support and content is everybody.
1302.  Harley Doubet
1303.  James Dalton - I am tired of paying for energy cost I don't need and didn't vote for. Make the people who are using the energy pay, not those who do not need it or use it.

1313.  Laura Fulton
1314.  Doug Fulton
1315.  Don Binder - If hydro isn't renewable how is anything? The people on the west side do not understand the reality of now "selling" "own" power production to California and driving up the cost for all in WA. Let's get with the program and change the law!
1316.  Steve Scammon - Hyro is obviously renewable. Only politicians could make it not.

1357.  Denise Culbertson - Please help us keep our energy cost down. Leaving in the rural communities and farms have us paying a lot of our disposable income on fuel and heating already!! With the cost going up every day!
1358.  Karl Denison - Replacing low cost renewable energy with expensive taxpayer subsidized undependable wind makes no sense. then there is the cost of building all the new transmission lines to hook up generators that only turn less than 1/3 the time. time for change.
1359.  Bryce Leavenworth - We pay enough as it is.

1371.  Jeanette Otis
1372.  Gary R. McCollum - e need to get a realistic grasp on what is and what is not renewable. Hydroelectric energy is certainly a renewable as the river runs year round, endlessly and the water always there.
1373.  R. Todd Nielsen
1374.  Kees Koster - It was always short-sighted to not call hydro power renewable. The original initiative was clearly skewed in favor of windmill manufacturers and operators, who already received way too much in subsidies.

1381.  Bill Lampson
1382.  Ray Robinson - Support for and implementation of all clean, safe, abundant, cost-effective renewals, including - not excluding - hydroelectric and nuclear power must be done responsibly to meet actual and expected power demand needs. To do otherwise is unacceptable and should be prohibited immediately.

1392.  Angela Field
1393.  Matt Sanders
1394.  Fred Luckow
1395.  Anonymous - Where is the Constitutional authority that would allow legislators to FORCE utility companies to purchase anything in the first place? Those utility companies are working for the people that they serve, NOT the legislators. Just another example of government sticking its nose in and making things harder or more expensive for the people that they are suppose to serve.
1396.  Sean Issac
1397.  Shirley Clawson
1398.  Shannon Aiello
1399.  Scotty Getchell - Hydro Power is a renewable energy source and much more reliable than wind which is expensive and not reliable.

1407.  Erin James
1408.  Henry S. Peden Jr. -  Please hear our voices and consider our concerns and amend the EIA removing the requirement that utilites must buy power not needed and thereby helping protecting our rates.
1409.  Gail Johnson -  Do the sensible thing. If we have enough power, don't make a ridiculous requirement to buy more.
1410.  Kay Dean
1411.  Panela K. Washburn
1412.  Marie Feryn - We need to protect our power rates and have water added to the list of renewable resources to meet the Energy Independence Act (EIA).
1413.  Brian Kinney - Stop runaway government!
1414.  Peggy Long - Requiring power cooperatives to purchase renewable energy even when they don't need it is foolish, costly, and sounds exactly like something our government would do! Please join me in signing this petition and let our legislatures know we won't stand for this foolishness.
1415.  Elizabeth Capetillo
1416.  Angela Beehler
1417.  MaryAnn Dalessi

1425.  Roger Gress - I support P.O.W.E.R.
1426.  William T. Pennell
1427.  Darren Larson - I definitely think HYDRO is already a renewable, so this bogus mandate to buy wind power and other renewables is CRAP. Therefore, I support the proposed changes to the EIA.
1428.  Gary Ballew
1429.  Brandon Mayfield
1430.  Shyla Banker
1431.  Bridgette Scott
1432.  KC Kuykendall -  Washington citizens committed to practical clean energy policies that will result in sustainable investment in our environment, our economy, and our society support these improvements made to I-937.
1433.  Kirt Shaffer - I support changes in legislation needed to amend the EIA to remove the requirement that utilities must buy power they don’t need to serve their customers, thus protecting rates.
1434.  Jeff Herring
1435.  Charles S. Mortimer
1436.  Mike Troidl
1437.  Gary L. Worley - Good petition
1438.  Bruce Harrer - This is common sense. Washington's power system is already low in carbon emissions and we should not pay for unneeded power.
1439.  Frances Sherwood
1440.  Stephen G. Spencer - Renewable at any cost is stupid and I really wish Hydro and Nuke would be included in the mix. Hate windfarms, they are blight on our countryside.
1441.  Gerald Sorensen - I support the petition submitted on behalf of Washington State ratepayers by Citizens for P.O.W.,E.R. related to Senate bill 5648 and House Bill 1699.
1442.  Tom and Laura Beaver - These are much more sensible bills which still address important using every conservation.
1443.  Kyle Thomas
1444.  Alan Finch
1445.  Denise Culbertson -  This is very important to our small power company with only 39,000 members! Our energy source is 97% carbon free! This is going to going to cost people more money each month in electric bills or they will pay in health bills when they get sick from the cold or heat!! Or lack of food due to paying the higher cost. All for what?? No benefit!
1446.  Reinhold Wolk - We definitely feel the pinch. It is difficult enough to make ends meet, trying to help your kids through college and then having the legislature work so hard to make everything cost even more just to appease a group of people who have an agenda who don't care about the consequences it will have on anyone.
1447.  Terry Christensen
1448.  Danette Layne
1449.  Tami LaDoux
1450.  Todd Williams

1452.  Rolf Strickland
1453.  Joseph J. Schultz - I do not think that utilities should be forced to buy uneeded resources
1454.  Bill Stromberger - The law makes no sense...repeal now.
1455.  Sharon McDeid
1456.  Kevin Anderson - Energy Conservation was being practice long before we could spell GREEN. We do not need to generate or purchase expensive new energy, non required energy, for the purpose of meeting or proclaiming our progressive ideology.
1457.  Michael Parvinen
1458.  Irene Kessler
1459.  Tim Kessler
1460.  Stacy Storm - We need reliable low cost energy, not overpriced, unreliable, alternative sources like solar and wind. When they are competitive in the marketplace fine, but until then we don't need them driving up our power costs.
1461.  Nancy Crotty - To the legislature: please amend initiative 937 so it meets its intended purpose: to conserve energy and not force purchase of energy which is not needed.
1462.  Gary Houser - I feel strongly that EIA is the worst sort of legislation that distorts markets and has large unintended consequences. People need to know that they are paying for foolish legislation.
1463.  Gary N. Graham -
1464.  Rosina Miller - Please help us to have to purchase renewable power that cost more than hydro power. Also hydro power is renewable.
1465.  Shea Merill
1466.  Leonard Rutherford
1467.  Dick Ewing - This effort should also include the requirement that alternative energy sources should not be subsidized but forced to compete with other traditional energy sources. Wind and solar sources must be conditioned with electricity from traditional baseload sources to be usable in homes and businesses. This means they are parasitic and can not replace traditional baseload power sources. Alternative energy sources should not be allowed to use the electrical grid unless they on a stand alone bases can consistantly provided the claimed power output for each facility.
1468.  Donald C. & Stacy Storm - Hydro power is a renewable resource. We do not need higher rates caused by manditory experimentation with alternative energies that are not cost effective or as efficient as our current system. The purpose of PUD's is to provide affordable electricity to their customers.
1469.  Bruce - Water power IS a renewable resource. Their bill(I-937) are idiots not to include water power.

1484.  Ruth Evans - I am one of the many concerned senior citizens served by Inland Power. At our recent annual meeting I was shocked to hear of some of the requirements of I-937. Please change the requirement that we buy power that we DO NOT NEED! PLEASE LISTEN TO US!
1485.  Charlene Evans - Having to spend my money ahead of time and not counting hydro improvements is simply wrong. Many of us are struggling to make ends meet and this law needs some common sense changes. Please work on these changes. i cannot afford higher bills...they are high enough already!
