California power crisis may spread into Pacific Northwest.

Here are first few paragraphs of a front page article in Thursday's Oregonian newspaper:

HEADLINE: BPA says crisis means it's solvency vs. salmon

Bonneville Power Administration officials painted a grim picture Wednesday for Northwest salmon and those who would save them.

Expensive salmon-saving measures should be sacrificed so that a struggling BPA can meet the region's power needs without going bankrupt, a top agency official told the Northwest Power Planning Council at a Portland briefing.

Members of the planning council -- a four-state panel charged with balancing the region's power needs with wildlife protection -- agreed, saying the did not think Bonneville had any choice.

"The situation is grim," said Frank L. Cassidy, council president. "At least Bonneville is being honest."

STORY CONTINUES FURTHER. Maybe a wire service picked it up.
