Washington
Washington’s hydroelectric power industry is the largest in the Nation and generates more power each year than any other state’s entire renewable energies program. Washington is also home to the Grand Coulee Dam, the largest concrete structure in the U.S. As home to DOE’s Hanford Site, Washington also played a critical role during the Manhattan Project in winning World War II and the Cold War. Washington is also home to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, one of 10 Department of Energy national laboratories that support the DOE science mission. |
