need to open up those considerations to more qualitative consider- 

 ations. 



To list some of those quite briefly, just environmental dispatch 

 of existing and newly acquired resources, a significant non-linearity 

 of environmental impacts, upstream and downstream consider- 

 ations on the resource, how far you should reach, and the varied 

 environmental costs, how those varied environmental costs are es- 

 tablished and their comparability. 



I think to close I would just say while I've reflected perhaps our 

 last 3 to 4 years of recent experience and tried to reflect that in 

 the context of your questions, I am also encouraged, as many of the 

 other people that have testified before you today have said, with 

 Bonneville's recent willingness to acknowledge and to embrace 

 some of these issues as a part of their fiinction-by-fuiiction review 

 and their competitiveness project. 



I believe that there's a lot of hope to be held out for that effort 

 because I think they're authentic and they're doing some good work 

 on that. 



Thank you.
