At Harmon Electric Association, we have


affordably as possible; and do both of those things in a fi scally and environmentally responsible fashion. Because Harmon Electric is a not-for-profi t


enterprise-which means your money stays local; we don’t have to worry about distant shareholders-we are well-positioned to make any necessary investments for ensuring safe, reliable, and affordable electricity. However, fulfi lling our commitment to environmental stewardship in a fi scally responsible manner has become more challenging. Today, many environmental laws that were adopted by Congress decades ago are being used by federal agencies and the courts to address issues for which they were never intended.


For example, the federal Clean Air Act is now 40 years old and was last amended in 1990-more than two decades ago. Much has changed in the intervening years, including technology, our understanding of the environment, and the electric utility industry. Today, offi cials with the U.S. Environmental


Protection Agency-often under court order—are trying to modify the Clean Air Act to fi t new circumstances. Without a doubt, new EPA rules being issued will wind up back in the courts-and lengthy litigation will ensue. Reasonable people can and will disagree over how


to fi nd a balance between protecting the environment, guaranteeing a reliable supply of power and keeping electric bills affordable. Under the right circumstances, Congress eventually will have to revisit the Clean Air Act and update it to fi t the needs of the 21st century. In the meantime, Harmon Electric Association will keep you updated on our efforts to encourage lawmakers and regulators to strike the proper balance on these concerns.
