Re: Alternative Energy, Wind Power
Ladies(Gentlemen,
Tahoe-Donner is blessed with high winds at all times. We can use this free source
of energy to provide electricity to our community at much lower cost than what
is available at present time.

We live in Tahoe-Donner and are planning to use a quiet windmill g
electricityfor our home. In the past few months the increase in electric rates have
made it difficult to live. According to our March 2002 electricity bill, the rates
have increased by 136% since the same period in 2001. Even though we have
only used 2KWH per day more than last year, our costs have increased by more
than $100 per month.
In addition, the uncertainties regarding the Arab States and the poor US foreign
policy in the Middle East region may result in an instability of oil availability and
the fossil fuel energy supply.
It is time for our community and our PUD to think about the future and begin
using the free wind power we have in abundance in Tahoe-Donner to generate
our electricity.
Sincerely Yours,
Parvin Darabi
