• Seems that the only thing wind producers are complaining about is the loss of corporate revenues. For profit wind companies would risk harm to fish over loss of corporate income.
• With the estimated value of wind subsidies at $45.00 per each Mega-watt hour (MWh) wind producers have incentive to cause power prices to go close to -45.00 before it becomes not profitable to operate wind.
• BPA and the policy of not paying to sell power keeps wind producers from facing the risk of having to pay up to $45.00 to sell there power saving them from a great loss in energy value.

• Conclusion is that BPA did the right thing for both Fish, Environment and NW rate payers that do not need to keep subsidizing California and corporate for profit wind producers.

Call or write your politicians and be part of the fix.
