Victory for Klamath River salmon

“The judge affirmed what we have been saying for years — the river is in a lot of pain caused by PacifiCorp’s dams,” said Steve Rothert of American Rivers.
PacifiCorp, recently acquired by billionaire Warren Buffett, had challenged the prescriptions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and National Marine Fisheries Service.
“PacifiCorp’s Klamath Dams have been a disaster,” noted Glen Spain, Northwest region director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations. “These aging dams produce less than 2 percent of PacifiCorp’s energy, but have nearly destroyed a river that was once the third most productive salmon producing system in America. If there are any dams that should come down, these are the ones.”
No one mentions the Tribes herding the salmon into gillnets with powerboats at the narrow mouth of the river; a few years ago, they were harvesting more than half the returning fall chinook. This subject has more lies printed about it than any other environmental issue on the West Coast, as far as I can tell.
Why don't you go worry about squirrles. This is serious stuff here.
Why am I not surprised by the dual citizen pulling crap like this. Why the hell does he continue to call himself Republican?
