Rivers, salmon, dams, politicians, Indians, Warren Buffet. Who knows what these sons of bitches are plotting, with the dam removal program. Follow the money. I DO know when drought hits, ice cold water is drawn off the bottom of the dam and released into the river to lower fish mortality...take out the dams? I DO know that hydro power is clean and renewable...take out the dams?
I DO know that Irongate dam hatchery on the Klamath has been very successful since 1919 when the dams were built....take out the dams? I DO know that flood control and irrigation are positive forces for the economy...take out the dams? I DO know that a hundred years of silt accumulation will have some serious consequences...take out the dams? I'm waiting to hear the pro's for dam removal...you don't need a biology degree to see the cons.
This is an easy one: the OR and CA governors are planning a on replacing the hydroelectric energy with new “green energy”, and having the public line the wind turbine and solar cell contractors pockets as payback for campaign contributions. It’s just a little bit about the fish. The salmon run improvements are really only for show and not the primary reason to remove the three dams.
