Robinson, president of Washington
Water Power Co . Spokane, said
Wednesday five Pacific Northwest i
power companies expect to spend
two billion dollars in the next 20 '
years to meet the area's power '
needs. '
He told the closing session of the
Northwest Electric Lisht and Pow
er Assn. they were "really going
to study" the possibilities of ammic
power plants to see if they could he
made competitive in costs with '
existing generating methods. j
If power could be obtained eco-
nomically from nuclear reactors,
he said, it would eliminate fights
for damsites against the opposition
of wildLife interests such as the one
now under way over two proposed
dams on the Clearwater River in
North Idaho.
The companies Washington Wat
er Power, Montana Power, Pacific
Power and Light. Portland General
Klectric and Mountain States Pow
er announced Tuesday they were
pooling their technical resources to
investigate the feasibility of atomic
power plants.
Robinson said the eastern part
of the Northwest power pool had
been "fortunate" in having no pow
er shortages in recent years, while
the western portion, "where we
are dependent on government pow
er." has had continual shortages
since 1942.
He said the public utility districts
In Washington are getting weaker,
and that a recent survey of WWP's
service area showed 72 per cent of
the people wanted it to stay in
business, nine per cent favored its
being replaced by public power,
and the rest had no opinion.
Robinson said most of the low
cost power sites have been or are
being developed in the Northwest,
and development of the higher cost
sites would make it difficult to keep
power costs at their present levels
