that gem about water and debris flowing back upstream to clog the turbines was pretty funny....


Funny ?
You really ARE a bit lost as regards some pretty BASIC hydraulics, aren't you.

You ever seen the bouyed "chain curtains" that are hung in front of the turbine discharges at MOST hydro dams ?
Worked on them during emergency shutdowns to clear logs that made it over a spillway
.....and then were SUCKED back up stream by the vortices ?
soaked to the bloody bone and freezing your nuts off while trying to wield a heavy exothermic torch ?

I doubt it,.....

Maybe you oughta' grab your stash and head for Oroville to calm everybody with your nonsense, it's not going to sell well here, Bud.
