This one was a hydro power dam put up in the 1920’s, it could have been easily restored to be an actual generator of power, but the greenies teamed up with a few fisherman to tear it down. They want to tear down every dam in America, to bring us closer to a pristine state.

I'm not sure I would call trout unlimited "Fishermen". Besides, there is hardly anywhere in the state that isn't within an hour's drive for decent trout fishing.
I've even heard chatter about removing the Tippi dam.

BPA provides huge, cheap Western US generating capacity. Sweetheart deals with various locals and, of course, the aluminum industry and Boeing. The Northwest power rates are cheap compared to CA's.
If BPA becomes castrated, bring back Dandy Don Merideth to sing "turn off the lights..."
