The question now is whether we have the courage to act before it is too late.

We cannot continue to overlook the fact that over the past year and a half alone all across our Nation we are seeing more frequent record-breaking temperatures and history-making extreme weather events

Economic modeling of this emissions effect shows that emission increases would be substantial.

Turning from that strategy to coal exports would be a tragic and abrupt reversal from that successful strategy for the Northwest.

Please examine all of the relevant impacts carefully, rigorously, transparently, and comprehensively, including climate effects.

Our commitments to energy efficiency and to clean energy and to transportation choices are working.
