Sense of Congress Resolution requiring dam removal ...

Do you know if dam removal (and hydroelectric) is widespread across the country? I'm trying to understand what the primary motivator is. Land development? To make alternative energy relatively less expensive by shutting off supply and driving up the cost of everything else? To drive the country folk into the city? It's just mind boggling to think there are so many that are complicit in the actions.

The oil and gas industry is constraining you to oil and gas while punishing you for using it. They want to make more on less.

They, want us powerless, broke and with nothing to pound but sand!!!

America is an evil "resource extractor," haven't you heard?

The fish come first, even though the Clinton campaigns all said they were "putting people first!" Now the first black Bill Clinton is overstocking his Denkins like administration with Clinton comrades!!!

They can't lead! They can't follow! They won't get out of the way! All they want is the destruction of the traditional American culture to make all nations equal!!!

GovernMental EnvironMentalism is the most crisis based method for doing just that!!!

The salmon devotees believe that the west coast dams block the migration of salmon and cut off hundreds of miles of spawning habitat. They believe that if all the dams are removed that the salmon populations will return to pre-European times. They refuse to recognize the part that the Pacific decadal ocillation in the ocean is playing, the role of tribal nets stretch across the mouths of rivers, the protection of marine mammals and over-fishing plays.
