After 13 days the Industrial Wind Areas have finally started generating electricity. Which is bad news for the locally owned public utility districts as mandatory purchase of Corporate wind power by BPA displaces electricity produced by local counties.



We have lots of electricity in the Pacific Northwest and as you can see by the net interchange we shipped a lot of it out of the region almost all to California.

Why are we destroying the most endangered landscape in Washington state the shrub-steppe, why are we killing thousands and thousands of raptors, and why are we endangering the health of our citizens by putting up tax subsidized Industrial Wind Areas??

The Democrats are using the Growth Management Act which was suppose to be used to save the environment to override local zoning banning Industrial Wind Areas. The out-of-state corporations are now asking Inslee and the Democrats to allow the construction of these areas without even going through the local planning process!!

We need to stop this before we totally destroy our landscapes and wildlife east of the Cascades.

This sounds like another potential boom market for REITs or similar investment instruments on the national level.

Write to your representatives in Olympia and in Congress about this, OP. Motivate your friends and neighbors to do the same. This is not a Dem/Repub issue. Repubs are just as much pro-business and pro-REIT (etc.) if not more so. Frame it as a local/region issue vs. corporate investment schemes using their investment power to override local and regional concerns.
