This is a fabricated emergency. How do we know? Washington state convened a winter readiness meeting last month and no utility called for continued operation of the coal plant. It's unfortunate for TransAlta that they will incur standby costs. They've carefully planned for 15 years for retirement.

PNW states have been working for years to get Bonneville Power Administration to staff up the transmission planning function to get us access to power. DOE laid off five new employees this week. None funded by taxpayers. Stupid and senseless.
