# Comments of Ed Good, Legislative Director UWUA AFL-CIO

Good morning, I want to thank you for this opportunity to provide thoughts and comments on the EPA's proposed Clean Power Plan.

My name is Ed Good. I am the Legislative Director for the Utility Workers Union of America AFL-CIO. The UWUA represents 50,000 employees in the electric generation, distribution and other utility industries. The UWUA strongly supports an all of the above energy strategy as opposed to an all but one of the above policy.

My comments today are not limited to my role as a UWUA member, but also as an elected local government official and consumer.

First and foremost, I am a proud member of the UWUA for over 35 years. The majority of those years I primarily worked in a coal fired power plant. My first 30 plus years was spent at the FirstEnergy R.E. Burger Plant in Mead Township, Belmont County Ohio. On February 23, 1995 100 persons lost their jobs when Units 1 and 2 were deactivated due to compliance issues with the Clean Air Act and Amendments. On November 17, 2010 some 15 years later it was announced Units 3, 4 and 5 would be shut down...again due to the cost of environmental compliance.

Due to today's hearing schedule and format there simply is not enough time to properly convey the impact these and other unit closures has on employees, the community and local services.

Having taken office in 1996, I am currently a Township Trustee in Mead Township, where the Burger Plant is located. The negative impact that takes place when a plant closes is devastating. Local government along with other services such as libraries, schools, health, park and fire districts suffer or in some cases are simply eliminated. I have attached a report detailing the loss of over 1.68 million dollars to the Shadyside Local School District and over a $146,000 loss to Mead Township as a result of the Burger plant closure.

Understanding the need to address global climate change, it is just that... a global challenge. The absence of border adjustments on goods produced in high carbon low control countries should not and cannot be ignored. Regions, like here in Appalachia cannot be expected to bear the costs of solutions to this global challenge alone.

# Shakeb Afsah, an economist who runs an energy consulting firm recently

stated: "Energy exports bit by bit are chipping away at gains we are making on carbon dioxide domestically."

Another issue that cannot be ignored is the problem of methane emissions from natural gas distribution pipelines. Last month, U.S. EPA Office of Inspector General issued a report detailing the improvements needed in the
EPA's efforts to address those emissions.

The EPA Inspector General noted the following on page one of that report:

" Methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). It has a global warming potential of 25 times that of carbon dioxide. In addition to contributing to global climate change, methane emissions also worsen ground level ozone problems and can kill trees and other vegetation. Emissions from leaks in natural gas distribution pipelines are comprised almost entirely
of methane."

The U.S. EPA, other regulators and federal agencies need to address this complex issue with a coordinated approach. Working with DOE to advance Carbon Capture Sequestration, DOL needs to address the displaced worker issue and FERC concerning electric power reliability and security are just a few examples of the coordination that will be necessary to effectively deal with the problem of greenhouse gas emissions in the power industry. Stakeholders, especially those expected to be impacted the most, must have a seat at the table in this process.

In closing, the UWUA would also like to urge the EPA to extend the comment period by at least 60 additional days in order to allow all interested parties to file comments concerning EPA's proposed Clean Power Plan.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Ed Good

# Mead Township

The State of Ohio (Senate Bill 3) deregulated public utilities on power generating plants resulting in a reduction of taxable value on power generating plants. This resulted in a loss of revenue for Mead Township.

1. General Fund: $8,509.01
2. Road & Bridge Fund: $53,181.33

Total: $61,690.34

The State of Ohio phased out general personal property tax. This effected all types of machinery, equipment and inventory. This resulted in a loss of revenue for Mead Township.

1. General Fund:
