This is a lengthy article so I did not include the full text; I’m not blog pimping.
I thought it was interesting in light of the water issues out west.

There are 1000s of tons of toxic metals and materials that have been deposited at the bottom of that lake from the Colorado rivers. Dry up the lake, and all of that blows around the region.

Peter Deneen does not rely on water from Lake Powell to survive. Peter Deneen is another eco-wacko with a lot of degrees but no sense.

I just drove through Page, where the dam is, and the museum is closed. Covid I guess. I have spent a week on Lake Powell and loved it. What do they think they will gain by draining. I have heard many theories but the water is there and can be used to help out the COlorado River through this drought. The drought will end in a year or so, as they come in waves. Texas was in a drought for 5 years for almost the whole state, and then one month of rains finised that off.

Since there is no man-made climate change, making anything better or worse, what is the case against the dam?

So how do they replace the 5 billion annual mega watts of electricity?

The idea goes like this: there isn’t enough water to fill both Lake Mead the Las Vegas water system and Lake Powell, so fill Mead swimming pools & water golf courses in Las Vegas first. That might clarify things a bit; just follow the money...

Thanks for putting this up.
I don't know nearly enough about the subject to have a strong opinion on this in either direction, but I can state unequivocally that Lake Powell provides for some of the most beautiful vistas in the United States.

releasing all of the water in Lake Powell will do nothing to add water anywhere else. It stores the water behind Lake Powell, then it goes out later when needed to fill up lower down dams.

All the downstream dams like Mead,Davis, Lake Havasue and on down are low and filled with silt gathered at the north side of the dams..
Oldtimers up there have predicted a dam break for decades. Any dam breaking would be a mega tragedy. The whole Carl Hayden boon doggle has been an ecological disaster.

An interesting read, but nature exists for us to use.
That said, if we could starve metro California areas in favor of helping farms, I’d be on board for that.

Drain the swamp first. The ROI would be significantly greater.

If they really want to break the damn, put Biden/Harris in charge of maintaining it.

There is a movement out there to drain Hetch-Hetchy and they don’t want any desalinization plants.
The California problem may just take care of itself.

Out here in the West. Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting.
