The melting snows of spring and early summer are causing a lot of trouble in the Pacific north-west, as a federal power agency pushes private wind turbines off the grid in what critics call a case of favouritism towards electricity generated by federal dams. The region's windpower companies are enraged and are petitioning the regulators. BPA managers say near-flood conditions in the Columbia river--and strict laws protecting the river's endangered salmon--give the agency no choice but to disconnect the windmills as it grapples with a large power surplus.
