I’m concerned about climate change and the impact it will have on our kids. Nancy Barnes wants to continue operating the public utility’s natural gas power plant, our state’s fourth-largest source of CO2 emissions, for another 20 years. Why? Because it’s paid for. That is like buying rotten meat and eating it because it is paid for. Where is her concern for our children? I’m voting for Don Steinke, who has a master’s degree in physics and has the knowledge to bring our public utility to a clean-energy future. He will keep the lights on, keep our rates low and protect our kids.
