Power from Metlakatla
By Jim Dahl

I agree with Mr. Byland. We should persue every opportunity to
get clean, green hydro power to Ketchikan. Mahoney Lake is good
opportunity. The other "good" opportunity is Metlakatla
Power and Light.
The leaders of Ketchikan and Metlakatla Indian Community are
exploring the possibility of a connection from Annette Island
to Mountain Point. I encourage the City Council and Metlakatla
Council to initiate "leadership" in making the connection
happen as soon as possible.
This is easy and it is close. I am not looking forward to an
announcement from KPU that a "diesel surcharge" is
about to show up on my monthly statements.
I like many other citizens are converting away from fossil fuel
to clean hydro based electric use. We have reached the petro
tipping point.
So, get it together folks.
