Muy Excellente! You have found another very interesting link - Pacificorp working with Andy Kerr's church, which will buy "renewable energy" through the "Blue Sky" program - which is a partner for Andy Kerr's "Larch Company" - which provides "renewable energy". Hmmmm.

It merits further investigation...

When PacifiCorp was under Scottish Power, they put in a methane plant that works off biomass from cattle feedlot waste. The idea was that the trucking costs could be offset by carbon credits against bovine methane, a game that a US power corporation cannot play because we haven't ratified Kyoto.

PacifiCorp is a determined competitor in the wholesale market and has contracted to take 47% of the output from a 484 MW gas-fired cogeneration plant which is under construction at Klamath Falls on the border between Oregon and California. PacifiCorp is responsible for the management and operation of the plant, which will also provide district heating and energy management to the City of Klamath Falls, and the project will contribute to operating profit after commissioning in summer 2001.

Ironically, without the dams there will be less alfalfa with which to feed the cattle that power the plant. "Oh what a tanlgled web," and all that.
