The gas pipelines to the PNW are near capacity. Governors of Washington and Oregon have been trying to close the one coal plant in each state for years. I suppose someone whispers, ‘Who is Grey Davis?’. <br /><br />I lived and worked in Washington State for many years. I was at a meeting with my boss to discuss the need for new capacity.
