We do have sun here most days (high desert). The old mill was ugly. So far it’s still ugly with the solar panels out there.

It is not only that .It is also what happens to those property owners who have shoreline access to those flowages created by these dams. That is why the EPA came up with those prohibitions on clearing up vegitation on their shore lines .
California is having blackouts so they take away 4 hydro-electric plants. People getting the government they deserve.
correction it’s vegetation not vegitation.
Well, look at it this way CA has time to recover because the removal will not be immediate. Don’t you “feel” better now?
Too long for a bumper sticker... but spot on!
Yes, but we have High-Speed Rail, so there!
Can’t they find some old Lancasters and take those dams out over night. The Brits did it over 70 years ago.
Socialism: Why we
can’t have nice things.
There, fixed it for you :-)
"Democrats"="Tyrants, and dictators", as well "environmentalists" so I thought I'd help those who might be confused.
The big gas reservoir in Los Angeles that was leaking was plugged. No more gas in or out. That is a key resource for power generation. There will be scheduled blackouts to accommodate in insufficient natural gas resources.
America’s future foreign rulers will appreciate all of the open space and wilderness we have provided them. To bad our conquerors will have to put up with butt-naked, starving natives sneaking out of the forests trying to free American slaves.
Yea, skip that bomb in there, but what about the fish? Too much collateral damage and the flood, have to ease the water out so downstreamers don’t suffer.
We're going to replace the cheapest, most reliable source of power with the most expensive, least reliable sources of power (solar and wind).
This is a great plan, because all the wasted money will filter through the correct communist corruptocrats, and many millions of acres of currently inhabited, productive US lands will be properly restored to uninhabitable, worthless deserts.
I think you’ve got it.
My question is… What happens to all the silt buildup behind the dams? Won’t that destroy spewing grounds on the lower river for years and years???
TB probably meant “spawning” grounds.
They took out a small irrigation dam up here in Grants Pass, Oregon, and everyone predicted the silt buildup would kill the fish, but so far it hasn’t...
