A Better Way for BPA!

Working To Preserve Our Land And Our Landowner Rights

An unnecessary Federal Government Land Grab is underway. The way to stop this is to insist BPA uses their own land. Be heard, write.

Who We Are

A Better Way for BPA is a WA State Non-Profit Corporation. We are an organized group of rural landowners encompassing Clark and Cowlitz counties. We chose to live away from infrastructure. We like electricity. We are not against Bonneville Power Administration. However, we are against BPA creating a new transmission corridor for their I-5 Corridor Reinforcement Project. We say BPA should run their 500 kV transmission lines on their own land along routes 9 and 25 where they planned for expansion 70 years ago.

~We agree that~

  • Any route that is not built on the government owned infrastructure that is already in place is government waste
  • Any route that is not built on the government owned existing transmission corridor is anti-property rights
  • Asking citizens to shoulder the burden and pay any more in rates for this project than it would otherwise cost if built on existing government land is irresponsible, and would amount to a completely un-warranted rate increase.
  • Building an additional new 70-mile transmission corridor would be a threat to private wells, while unnecessarily increasing the contamination to groundwater, rivers, streams, and wetlands from the herbicides BPA uses containing scientifically proven cancer-causing compounds.

"The three great rights are so bound together as to be essentially one right. To give a man his life, 

but deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living. To give him his liberty, 

but take from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty, 

is to still leave him a slave." 

- George Sutherland, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, 1921.

BPA Needs To Be Fiscally Responsible

At a time when our nation and it's citizens are struggling financially, it would be fiscally irresponsible for Bonneville Power Administration to build a new, more expensive corridor when they can build on the land they already own rights to.
