It varies as to how much we can get from you guys the % of power from hydro sources.

He did the same thing last year in a drought year and really ran the lake levels down. Fortunately, we had a very wet year and the lakes came back up.

Their excuse last year was that they had to drain the lakes for the snow run off. There was no snow run off. Trying to get someone to investigate this is harder than convincing the average sheeple in Oregon that Green Jihadists are the root cause of the fires in Oregon.
