Maybe someone could ask Jennifer Granholm and Pete Buttigieg how this squares with forcing people into EVs.

Nevermind, they don't give a s**t.

salmon are not endangered...

We put east coast Salmon into the Pacific almost 200 years ago...from breeding facilities here on the east coast. Those facilities still exist today.

The object was...everyone can afford fish.

Prove the earth is warming and CO2 is the cause.

No power for the Pacific Northwest ... as in portland?

Who cares?

The dam supplies hydroelectric generation, flood control, water supply and a navigable waterway to transport agricultural products to market. All lost in pursuit of a minor improvement to salmon. Stupid on steroids. Mike Simpson (my rep) has been pushing for this. I voted for his opponent in the primary, but he is just too entrenched.

Do we need any more proof this “crisis” is planned?

[Midwesterner53]

Great way to push the radical libs in the NW away from the Democrat party.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Don’t they have salmon runs at these dams, or am I mistaken?

[antidemoncrat]

You mean to tell me there are no Engineers left in this country that could figure out a way and design a way for them to get over the dam? Oh I forgot. Instead of Universities teaching STEM these days they teach using the proper pronouns, rights of transgenders and gays and why the US is systemically racist.

[SauronOfMordor]

You want to ensure the survival of more salmon? Start culling more seals and bears.

[consult]

The salmon runs in that river have been gone for nearly a century.

I don’t think anywhere in the world they have been restored once gone.

WA state is already spending half a billion a year on hatchery fish releases....such that when the few salmon that then return from the artificial release...it averages out to $180 per salmon that returns. Insanity throwing away clean and efficient energy for something that is literally a pipe dream that Hunter had smoking his meth.
