I know what you’re saying, we have some brain-dead family members too but it’s way past time for these people to be put straight and quit blaming Bush. It’s ludicrous the lack of balanced thinking out there.
They need to do some research on fisheries development, what works and what doesn’t and see just exactly who was supporting the good conservation efforts, not the politcal efforts.
De-development at work
O and his enviro freaks at it again! We’re looking at the dams near me being taken out...at millions of cost to ELECTRIC customers...yet the powers that be tell us to drive electric cars, but soon the electricity will be as high as gas!
IDIOTS! CORRUPT IDIOTS!
“Provided the Native Americans actually take their gill nets out of the rivers.”
What a load of crappola that is! Modern ‘native Americans’ waste more fish than the rest of us use altogether. Living proof that ‘a nation within a nation’ DOES NOT WORK!
Then there is the matter of water storage, who cares if people have nothing to drink in the summer? The north usually has rivers that run year round and we can always cut off water to LA and San Diego and all little towns in the surrounding areas, not to mention that farmers won't have to worry about the water being turned on because their won't be any.(do I need the sarcasm tag?)
You should see the corruption in the agencies and the use of corrupted science to support dam removal. It is obscene. For instance, sampling behind the dams in 2006 discovered cyanide and dioxin at levels hazardous to human health in the sediment behind the dams. Siskiyou County, which opposes dam removal, raised concerns about the human and environmental damage breaching the dams would cause. (Such poisonous sediment would require dredging and disposal of sediment in special landfills at an exorbitant cost rather than release downstream.) We also questioned the costs/benefits of removal if responsible treatment of the hazards and restoration of the land exposed where included in the considerations.
In response, the federal and state government's have worked to shield themselves from any liability, have excluded County consultants from auditing the scientific process and have ordered new sediment sampling down the middle of the stream where problems are least likely and to specifically exclude any further sampling for cyanide or dioxin. Sediment models used have been experimental ones that assume a particulate size larger than what actually exists behind the dams - models that produce a favorable flushing result- rather than the likely result of long term suspension of sediment in the water column.
A recent TMDL (Clean Water Act total maximum daily load for pollutants) set for the Klamath forces dam removal. It is all so corrupt. By the way, the same groups behind the Central Valley water cut off (PCFFA, etc.) are the same people behind the Klamath. They have shut down the timber and mining industries for salmon and have made a huge dent in any viable agricultural industry. It is a massive transfer of wealth.

BTT!!
I’ve been hearing about this on our radio.
We should be listed on the Endangered Species Act. We ARE an endangered species!!!
So how is it that they are going to charge all of these electric cars they want? No nuclear power, no hydro, no coal, heck they are even protesting wind and solar.
They will pray to Thor the god of thunder.
Corrupt Idiots fits them to a tee!!
Wait until a fish can hire an attorney.
