Residents Protest Proposed Power Line

A demonstration was held outside the Bonneville Power Administration building in Vancouver to oppose a planned high-tension power line through Clark County. Erma Sarasohn says the cheapest route goes through residential areas. They'd like a route farther into the forest that doesn't affect as many residents; but that's also more expensive. BPA says the region will need to electricity from the new line by 2016. A draft environmental impact statement will be released later this year and it will list a primary and an alternate route.
