Horse Heaven Hills Call to Action

Take Action Now: Protect Our Community and Environment
​
As the summer heat intensifies, so does our need to speak up for the health and safety of our community, the preservation of our cultural heritage, and the protection of our environment. The Horse Heaven Wind & Solar Project has reached a critical juncture, and your voice is more important than ever.

Governor Inslee’s recent directive to EFSEC to restore the Horse Heaven Wind & Solar Project to its near original size, despite EFSEC’s recommendation for a significant reduction, has raised serious concerns:

• Three years of meticulous analysis and public input are at risk of being disregarded.
• Safety, health, and property risks are being overshadowed by corporate interests.
• The integrity of the SEPA process and the interests of the Yakama Nation, Benton County, and Tri-City residents are being ignored.

This is not just about a project; it’s about the principles of democracy, environmental stewardship, and respect for our community.

Your action can make a difference. Before the next EFSEC meeting on August 21, we urge you to submit your comments. Stand with us in urging EFSEC to uphold their recommendation to remove all high-impact turbines from the project. Let’s remind them that the power they wield comes from the people they serve.

Here’s how you can help:

1. ​Submit your comments to EFSEC to all of the following email addresses in a single email:
