They can control vast amount of waterways through regs. It is absolutely absurd, the tricks they play.

And yes, they do shut down the waterways for months at a time up here in Washington state, just because they can, and just because they know that the fisherman will continue to buy licenses (their funding) year after year.

Make that, entire waterSHEDS. All the land from ridge to ridge.

Interesting isn't it, that the spill you have to allow down the river for fish, instead of saving them, causes the fish more harm than good (the extra oxygen attacks their systems). It costs you $3 BILLION dollars in natural gas to make up for the lost hydro power.

Now, for twenty points, guess who funds the greenie lawsuits to list the fish? Hmmmm?

The Pew "Charitable" Trusts, also known as SUNOCO.
