Re: “They force the power companies in WA State to buy wind energy, even though we have more than enough hydro-power.”

It’s even worse than that.

The Feds and local Greens are systematically tearing down our dams, which produce the cleanest and cheapest electricity in America.

Great news for salmon.

Not so great for consumers.

The Columbia dam has never been operated at full capacity. We have more than enough hydro power available for our own state, even without those dams that they tore down. Tearing down the dams is part of the push to make protecting the salmon the raison etre for all the laws and regulations in the state. Read Stanley Kurtz' book, Spreading the Wealth, it's all part of the same agenda, Agenda 21. Right now though, I'm standing with the Indians because they are opposing the coal terminals that Obama wants to put in WA, near the reservation. The developer, SSA/Goldman Sachs, jumped the gun on the site prep and disturbed an Indian burial ground, giving the tribe added ammunition to fight the terminal, added to the fact that the terminal would just about kill the fishing, it looks like the Lummi have a very good chance of stopping this Obama crony project.

I live in WA. This is the state that determined that hydro-electric energy is a non-renewable resource. Apparently once the water has gone past the dam, it’s never coming back. A democrat-run state, what can you expect?
