No. There is no common ground.
Obviously brad doesn’t get “it”.
Hydropower is the only practical clean energy.
It actually serves as a peak power energy generator.
Unlike wind and solar, which are on the whims of mature, dams can be turned on and off whenever there is a need!
They are now even using dams as an energy storage - they are pumping water up during the time of oversupply, to have more energy when needed.
But, NO, we need to save the salmon, so we need to pollute the environment with more solar, windmills and batteries!
“We believe the authors of this deal are genuine in their desire to do what they believe is right for constituents.”
If that’s true you’re fools.

(1) Reparations for a large percentage of the money spent by the Bonneville Power Administration associated with lost power production for “fish flush” operations plus money on various fishery programs along the lower Columbia and Snake Rivers.
(2) Prioritization of hydro power and its ancillary services for the Pacific Northwest at the expense of California. Without the lower Snake River dams power grid stability of the California DC intertie will be more difficult. Also without the lower Snake River Dams, there will be less hydro power and the need for more solar/wind to meet PNW loads and without more ancillary services devoted to the PNW, the reliability and stability of the PNW grid will be less.
(3) If after 15 years without the dams, the amount of upstream fish does not increase to a certain level, a “failure” will be declared and the federal government will rebuild the dams. What most don't realize is that urban growth and various water runoff issues have destroyed salmon/steelhead habitat far more than dams.
speaking as a half breed myself...
...why do these tribes get to make decisions for land , river, and power anything for non tribal people groups ?
wheres the
” muh endangered democracy”
in that ?
the democrat party
is
organized crime.
I don’t think there is any common ground to be found between the progressive communists and most American-loving, Constitution-supporting, freedom-advocating conservatives.
When someone is calling for “common ground” they usually are insisting conservatives compromise their values and move to the left.
