Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington-Power politics,
that hardy perennial in the
Pacific Northwest, is rearing
its head once again with re
spect to the Hanford reactor
project a n u
the Snake
Vt river dam dis
' j p u I e, and
'ffr t h r e atoning
, t the region
.-7 i with needless
. 1 economic dis-
tress. When
the House last
111' KUJ WCCk dcfeat'
Smltu eu me iiiosl
recent, proposal for generating
800,000 KW at (he Hanford
works, it was a victory for
the private utility forces who
vigorously, but never openly,
opposed it.
ln a sense this was a repeat
of what happened lost year,
when the House three times
declined lo authorize the fed
eral government to build such
an alomic power plant. Last
year the electric utility indus
try at large opposed it, with
the aid nf the coal industry's
lobby, hul Northwesl power
companies remained neutral.
This year, when "Washing
ton Pacific Power Supply
System, an organinlion com
posed of IB PUDs in Washing
ton state, offered lo build the
generating plant at Hanford
with private money, the util
ity industry had the aid of
the private power companies
from the Pacific Northwest in
scuttling it.
All Pacific Northwest mem
bers of Congress of both
parties favored the construc
tion of this unique power
plant, especially since none of
their colleagues could call it
a federal spending project.
Rut the utility and coal lob
bies were effective in round
ing up a honvier vole than
last year (2fi:MI)2) against it.
On Capitol Hill it is as
sumed that tiie Northwest
utilities opposed it behind the
scenes because they wanted to
prevent WPPSS from getting
into business us a power gen
erating organization.
Four private companies -Pacific
Power and hight.
Washington Water Power,
Portland General Electric
and Montana Power - are
locked in a tough fight with
WPPSS before the Federal ;
Power Commission where
either side is seeking a license
to build a major dam on the
Snake river. Recause nf the
possibility of court proceed
ings to test the FPC's ultimate
decision, this is expected to
be a long and expensive
fight.
Already WPPSS has spent a
million dollars on the case,
and yet It is still only a paper
organization. The private
utilities hope to keep it a
paper organization by pre
venting WPPSS from going
Into business as a generating
utility at Hanford
This is Iho apparent reason
for the lack of support for the
H:mfnrH lirnii'rl from Ihe
power companies, even aner
the project was modified so
as to guarantee them at least
half the power output under
long-term power contracts.
Udall Intercedes
Meanwhile, Interior Secre
tary Stewart Udall. who had
hoped the Hanford project
would go through this year,
has Interceded against both
sides the Snake river dispute
by proposing that the federal
government build high Moun
tain Sheep dam. This has
made WPPSS and other pub
lic power groups angry bp
cause WPPSS wants to build
Ncz Perce dam instead; and
the power companies are sore
because they want to build
Mounlnin Sheep dam.
This is a very touchy ques
tion politically. None of the
three senators from Ihe North
west who are up for reelection
this year has endorsed Udall's
position. Sen. Wayne Morse
says Udall should continue
with his crash fishery re
search program instead of
giving up the possibility of
building Nez Perce.
The point here is thai with
out solid Noryiwesl support
for federal construction of
high Mountain Sheep dam, it
stands less char.ee than the
Hanford project of being ap
proved by Congress.
As a consequence of these
powerful conflicting forces,
the prospect of steady growth
of the region's economy based
on plentiful cheap energy is
being threatened by the con
tinuation of power politics.
