Washington and Oregon will have much more hydroelectric power. (In fact, Oregon receives nearly 50% of all its electricity through this means.) This is due to the numerous waterways that cross the state, allowing for a much easier conversion than in the Plains states, in which converting the water to electricity would be expensive and much more difficult.
