We’re seeing a renaissance
of hydroelectric power
When Grand Coulee Dam was completed in 1942, it was called the
“Eighth Wonder of the Modern World.” With its 151 mile-long reser-
voir and ability to produce 6,809 megawatts of electricity, no one
could imagine a bigger or more powerful dam — and no one real-
ized the scope of economic development that low-cost, reliable hy-
dropower would create.
Actually someone did. China.
This year, China completed its gargantuan Three Gorges hydro-
electric project with triple the power generation of Grand Coulee.
The controversial project is the largest dam in the world. The Chi-
nese government defends it and other proposed hydro projects as
critical to curbing disastrous flooding on the Yangtze River and gen-
erating electricity needed to power China’s eco-
nomic growth. L C
New mega dams are also planned on the ETTERS FROM THE OMMUNITY

Reproductive
Parity Act wins
House approval;
Senate next
ZOEYPALMER
WNPA OLYMPIANEWSBUREAU
The Reproductive Parity
Act, a controversial bill that
would require insurance
plans that cover live births to
also cover abortions, was
passed by the state House of
Representatives Friday morn-
ing after heated debate from
both sides of the issue.
The 53-43 vote was largely
along party lines, with Rep.
Chad Magendanz (R-5th Dis-
trict, Issaquah) as the sole Re-
publican who voted in favor of
the measure and Rep. Roger
Freeman (D-30th District,
Federal Way) as the only De-
mocrat who dissented.
Exemptions in the bill allow
religious organizations to not
cover the procedure, but some
have argued the exemptions
aren’t strong enough. An
amendment offered by Rep.
Jay Rodne (R-5th District, Is-
saquah) intended to bolster
those protections.
A similar amendment by
the bill’s prime sponsor, Rep.
Eileen Cody (D-34th District,
Shorewood), contains
strengthened religious protec-
tions as well as requirements
that an insurance carrier must
notify subscribers about cover-
age it opts not to offer.
Both amendments passed.
Federal funds cannot by law
be used to fund abortions; a
federally regulated health plan
that would not cover abortions
is slated to start in January
2017.
The bill, designated EHB
1044, next goes to the Senate
for consideration. Its Senate
companion bill, SB 5798, did
not get a hearing before the
Legislature’s policy cutoff
date.
