Letter: Rocky Mountain Power is fighting against having to comply with EPA rules while its parent company, PacifiCorp, pays its shareholders a $300 million dividend.
| Feb. 2, 2023, 1:00 p.m.about Rocky Mountain Power prioritizing coal over public health made me think of the figure of $300 million.
Why $300 million? That’s the amount RMP’s parent company PacifiCorp just announced as this year’s dividend to its shareholders . $300 million is also a likely high-end total estimate to clean up RMP’s Hunter and Huntington coal power plants in Utah to comply with the EPA rule. So, like a good neighbor, will Rocky Mountain Power be there for us? No, according to RMP spokesperson Thom Carter.
The utility, PacifiCorp, and its corporate godfather, Berkshire Hathaway, are “lawyering up” to fight for more fossil fuel pollution. And they’ve requested the Utah Legislature to provide $2 million of public funds to further endanger the public.Stan Holmes, Salt Lake City
