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.

The irony is that the new fish ladder technology works very well and it can be employed at every dam on the river to make sure that they can spawn.

In other words, there is a solution that does not involve demolishing the dams and cutting electrical output, but they still want to destroy the dams.

They already fail to capture enough of the water and cry about drought being caused by SUV’s.

Insane.
