Measure 4 would
force the permanent
shutdown of Trojan«««
The economic costs of 4’s
shutdown would be enormous...
The environmental costs of 4 ’s
shutdown would be damaging...
“I’m voting NO on 4, and I know environmen
talists throughout Oregon who are voting NO on 4
—because of the drastic environmental consequences
of replacing Trojan’s electricity with more fossil fuel
burning and more dams. Please join us in voting
NO on 4.”
“We already face a possible recession, higher energy
costs because ot the Mideast Crisis, federal tax
increases, and regional electricity shortages. It makes
no sense to shut down a reliable, low-cost, domestic
source ot electricity like Trojan.”

Measure 4 would immediately force the complete shut
down of Trojan on December 6, 1990—forcing consumers
to pay billions of dollars in higher electric rates.

If 4 passes, w e’d have to pay for higher-priced power sources to replace
Trojan’s electricity, forcing higher electric rates.
According to the Northwest Power Planning Council, Measure 4’s shutdown
would ultimately cost consumers as much as $3 billion.

Measure 4’s shutdown of Trojan would mean shutting
down a plant that produces as much as 20% of Oregon’s
electricity—at a time when we already face tightening
electricity supplies.
An analysis released by the Bonneville Power Administration on
O ctober 22, 1990 concluded that the shutdown of Trojan would seriously
increase the possibility of regional electricity shortages — including “a
complete area blackout” — during the cold winter months.

Shutting down Trojan would increase pressure to dam up
our free-flowing rivers and streams — destroying impor
tant fish populations and wildlife habitats.
Closing Trojan would also greatly increase the pressure to build new' dams
on our region’s last remaining free-flowing rivers and streams.
This would destroy important fish populations and crucial wildlife habitats
we’ve worked hard to protect.

It would take two coal plants, burning 3 million tons of coal each year to
equal Trojan’s yearly electricity output.

Measure 4’s shutdown of Trojan would force increased
burning of coal, gas, and oil to produce electricity —
causing more air pollution and adding to the Greenhouse
Effect.
