WASHINGTON D.C. -- Funds to replace a critical lock on a Snake River dam as well as train local workers for the wind energy industry moved ahead in the U.S. Senate this week.

In a release, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said the money is included in the 2011 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill.
