## Mvname is Dale Kemmerick. retired air pollution meteorologist from the Georgia Air ·ProtectionBranch ofEPD. Let's keep this simple- the hotter the ambient temperature. the higher vour summer electricitv bill. Ifvou control C02 and lower ambient temperatures or evenprevent further increases in the temperature, vou reduce air conditioning costs. For an exampletake mv last twoJulvpower bills. Evervthing was the same: number of davs in the billing, sameprogram on the thermostat, except that oneJulv was an average 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the other. The bill for the hotter Julvwas 92% greater than the bill for the coolerJulv. almost double or over $105 that I saved for that

**on~** 

## cooler month. This resulted in Southern Company's 3rd Quarter 2013 revenue being down 12% and what was their excuse, I quote "the latest quarter's results were negatively influenced by cooler-than-normal temperatures and unusually heavv rainfall". Ifvoulet Ga Power keep pumping out C02 from coal and increasingthe temperature, it is more revenue for them and higher bills for their customers. Since C02 is a pollutantthat produces harm, it should have been controlled at the start ofthe Clean Air Act. Bydelaying the cost ofcontrol. EPA has incentivised and subsidized the over use ofcarbon based fuels. When youtake away the subsidies, consider all the costs and eliminate the voodoo accounting, coal has never beena cost effective fuel for electrical generation. First consider emission fees paidto state and local agencies. Before I retired, I personally accepted a check for over $900,000 from a GA Powercourier for a quarterly payment ofemission fees. Iftheyrelied onefficiency and zero emitting fuels, GaPowercustomers could save millions ofdollars in emission fees peryear and emission fees due to coal will only increase when C02 is added to the list. Second considerthe environmental compliance costs. Each month Gapower lists onmy bill about $8 in environmental compliance costs, just so they canburn coal. Ifyears ago they had relied onnatural gas as their base load it would save me about $100 peryear because they would not have needed SCR and baghouses and the billions ofdollars in control equipment that the customerpays for subsidizingthe cost ofcoal. Thirdthe cost ofash ponds are not calculated inthe cost ofcoal electrical generation. Ashponds have high costs andthreaten drinking water supplies. In 

## Tennesseethe rupture ofone ashpondcost 1.2 billion dollars to clean up and in North Carolina, Duke Powerestimates it would cost 10 billion dollars to properly dispose ofthe ash from their 14 sites. Each powercompany has 

## billions and billions offuture costs for ash ponds that are not accounted for in the cost ofcoal electrical generation. Fourth is the cost ofclimate extremes. Coal emits more C02than any other fuel and therefore producing higher average temperature which not only increases the cost ofair conditioning as statedbefore, but contributes to otherweather extremes like storms and droughts. Finally, you will never hear power companies talk about health costs due to coal fired EGUs, yet they know they significantly contribute to the excessive costs ofhealth care. John Jansen ofSouthern Co and Alan Hansen of EPRI conducted a study called ARIES in Atlanta that showed a direct association or correlation between hig...IJ pollutant concentrations and EmergencyHealthDepartment visits and mortality. Yet the powercompanies are not required to paythe hospitals, insurance companies, orthe patients for the billions ofdollars ofcosts caused bytheir emissions. We have a right to clean air. Powercompanies do not have the right to blow smoke andpollutants into our face and force us to pay for the resulting health costs they cause.I
