We have Columbia River Dams + coal fired plant + W John Hilderbrand 05/26/2011 @ 6:51pm The control is the government (Bonniville Power Adm.) which is told what to do by a judge in Portland. BPA has almost shut down the coal fired plant and has too much spring run off and has to shut down some of our wind power so the spillway overflow does not create too much nitrogen for the salmon. If we had more transmission lines we could ship more to Ca.. We have 17 GE 1.5 MW turbines on our farm and 6 of them are a community wind farm with our 2 sons and other investors that they formed.
