The US Bureau of Reclamation is the agency that has built and maintains large dams in the western United States. Their original goal was simple, to build dams that stored and provided irrigation water for cultivating otherwise nonarrable lands in the west that were too dry.

This expanded to make electricity...which is the best renewable energy resource we have.

For decades and decades they have done this.

But, the environmentalists have been doing two things over the last 30 years.:

1) Fighting them to try and get dams renmoved in the name of the endagnered species act. This hurts us agriculturally and energy wise.

and, 2) Infiltrating the Bureau to get their own scientist within the bureau to back up their desires with scientific "findings."

Sadly, they have been successful.

I fought the Bureau and the Federal government in 2001 before 911 at Klamath Oregon where bad science and viral environmentalist got a whole basin shut down by denying farmers irrigation water that they had rights to.

The Commissioner of the Bureau, Mr. Keyes (God rest his soul), favored the Farmers and was appointed by Bush and he took over as this was happening. After he came on board the junk science was thrown out and the crisis was ultimately resolved.

In 2003 I went to work for the Bureau working with digital technology to help dams communicate and employ Supervisory Data and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and communications and security systems for the dams. For the last 8 years I have seen how the Bush administration pushed back on those two agendas in the Bureau with some success...though Clinton had riddled all Federal agencies with career liberals. Now, Obama has doubled down on it all...and is producing even worse conditions like that in the San Joaquin.

This is one agency whose mission is one that actually allows it to make something productive and pay for itself. Now we have administrators, biologists and scientists working against those goals. But we fight it internally, and I continue to try and communicate externally wherever we cabn.

Anyhow, hope that helps. Dams like Hoover Dam, Grand Coulee, Arrowrock Dam, Anderson Dam, Palisades Dam and many, many more are operated and maintained by the US Bureau of Reclamation.

Good to see your still kicking Jeff.
Being in with those greenie nuts on the job,
it is a wonder you haven’t went postal.

I still have the Klamath money raising
water bucket for I won the bid on for
Michigan here in the gun shop.

I’ve come to the conclusion the green movement
is at root of about all the ills in this country,
whether related to water and farming, manufacturing,
the lack of a growing energy independence; and
the phony shortages, high unemployment,
and rampant inflation.

Keep up the good fight.Ed Hubel

Jeff, it is so good to see you posting again!

The wider world needs to know about this, from the inside. Keep posting what you know! Or shoot, get it to someone here you trust and have them post it. Corruption hates the light of day... I will help draw the blinds aside if I can!
