Pros
A very challenging industry in a very challenging time; BPA's work for the citizens of the Pacific Northwest to support both a sustainable environment and economically advantageous electricity costs, sets a benchmark for other utilities to emulate. Electric utilities face climate change, new and changing technologies, conflicting policy direction, and stakeholders who don't see eye to eye. The industry has to keep the lights on and cross some pretty turbulent issues. BPA does that with aplomb.
Cons
Decisions are complex and full of paradox because balancing sustainability and economic viability are full of potential conflict. Don't come to BPA for black & white answers.
