Measure
Drastic
Would
and Costly...
Measure 4 would immediately
force the complete shutdown of
the Trojan electric plant on
December 6, 1990.
Please consider these facts about Trojan and Measure 4
when voting November 6.
Trojan produces as much power as Bonneville
Dam, up to 20% o f Oregon's electricity needs
In 14 years of serving Oregon. Trojan has provided an
average of 5 billion kilowatt-hours ol electricity each
year. Trojan is the largest electricity plant we have within
our state.
Our electricity surplus is gone, and power
supplies are getting seriously tight
Recent reports from the Bonneville Power Administration
show serious pow er shortages developing in the Puget
Sound area, with a good likelihood ol blackouts in the near
future. Oregon's pow er supply situation is getting
similarly tight. A shutdown of Trojan could create serious
power reliability problems.
Measure 4's shutdown o f Trojan would be
expensive for consumers
The respected Northwest Power Planning Council’s study
of the potential impacts of Measure 4 shows the likely
costs to consumers would be about $1.5 billion dollars—
with the costs going as high as $3 billion dollars.
Measure 4's shutdown would be
environmentally damaging
Closing Trojan would force more coal, gas, and oil burning
to produce power. Burning these fuels pours polluting
carbon dioxide gases into the air, and adds to the global
wanning Greenhouse Effect.
Moreover, closing Trojan would create more pressure to
dam our remaining free-flowing rivers and streams,
destroying fish populations and wildlife habitats.
