You can certainly buy all the farm raised salmon you want in the grocery store, but it is nothing like a salmon that has been run to the ocean and back.
If you look into the back story of this project you will see that these particular antiquated dams have served their purpose and removing them is not an unreasonable thing to do at all.

But you don’t understand.
The goal of the enviro-weenies is to depopulate the USofA and turn it into their organic garden, complete with human fertilizer ... you, me, the elderly, the disabled, the unborn, the conservatives, the beautiful, the kind, the freepers.
It’s ‘da plan’ doncha see?

I am OK with removing a dam if it is going to be replaced by a thorium nuclear power plant.

removing them is not an unreasonable thing to do at all. Disagree. It's a HUGE waste of taxpayer money and a poor precedent.
For every dammed salmon river, there are many, many undammed ones. The ecoNazies pretend that each dammed river is of primary importance, when in fact, it's of little importance.

We can bitch and moan all we want about environazis, but who gave them all that unbridled power and why is it not challenged?

Disagree. It's a HUGE waste of taxpayer money and a poor precedent. Not to mention that the same trick will be tried on other American Dams. Who cares if it is clean power, the fish have to be saved (and mankind suffers) only to burn more fossil fuel. DOH!

Salmon is supposedly endangered, but you can buy it in grocery stores 365 days a year here in the Northwest.Same here in metro DC. Salmon from all over the world is plentiful here. If salmon are so endangered why are we allowed to eat them.
Why don't we just cut all power to the environazis.

That’s right. And worse yes, they hate and fear nuclear power, coal-fired power, oil-fired power, natural gas-fired power, and yet want EVERYONE to drive so-called eco-friendly electric vehicles.
They do like solar power and wind power, just not anywhere they happen to live, of course.
It’s like dealing with not-so-intelligent, spoiled children.

They need to stay away from the Columbia and Snake River dams and a few others. These are continuing productive resources (understatement). Although I am in the opposite corner of the state from the Olympic Peninsula, separated by the Cascade range and a world of cultural difference, what I have read is that the Elwha dams really are dispensable.

Great Idea. I think we should shut those down too.

More coal-fired energy now required.
Environmentalists are NOT about cleaner environs. The one constant in their never-ending march is the destruction of American Energy.

The $327.4 million dam removal project will be followed by a $2.5 billion wind farm to replace the dam’s electricity. /sarc
It’s called “job creation”.

Even T Boone Pickens gave up on the wind farms.
