Dear All:
The local enviro-nazis in the Klamath Basin (southern OR, northern CA) are attempting to tear down 4 perfectly good dams on the Klamath River and have the power generation replaced with solar, simply because dams are displeasing to these folks.
The local news is running a poll at http://www.localnewscomesfirst.com (lower right-hand corner of the screen) and the enviro side is winning.
PLEASE PLEASE help turn the numbers our direction. Please vote against dam removal. It will destroy this region. Thanks.
FReeped. Calif. gets more insane daily.
The rivers run 24/7/365 & produce various amounts of hydroelectric power. People use power 24/7/365.
Solar will be costly- & inconsistent. There is definately NOT 365 days of sunshine in that area.
None of these dams are clones of the Hoover Dam.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Whoops. should have checked first. Freep the poll about dredging at the site!
This poll has closed but I’ll bet Marsh2 has a few things to say about these dams...
Turning it.

Actually, it should be LOT as in lots of tears.
I am opposed to dam removal, designations of huge national monuments; the taking of water use rights through the endangered species acts; the regulation of groundwater usage through the public trust doctrine; the shut down of management of our National Forests through serial lawsuits; the use of wildfire to “achieve management objectives” (which appear to be burning down hundreds of thousands of acres of forest;) the use of the clean water act to require permits for farming; shutting down suction dredge mining and the economy of my small communities; and every other damnable regulatory strategy they are throwing at us to try and push us off our lands.
