the dams are 400 feet high and can produce 145 megawatts of carbon-free power - and taking them offline would make this the largest dam removal project in U.S. history.

So if Congressional barriers against this are being ignored, does this mean that US Citizens once again have taxation without representation and no longer are governed by three co-equal branches of government? What's up with that?

Has our government now become unfounded and confounded by a religion of EnvironMentalist coup plotters seeking to establish Government By Their Whim???

Are we men? Or are we mice?

These are the people I think of everytime I hear people grousing about their wish for "a government that can get things done!" What "things?" Destructive things? Desperately stupid things like totally unnecessary dam destruction???

This farce must be stopped and if our gutless electeds can't stand for the right, then they must be compelled to stand for what's right and not destructive!!!

The voices promoting this insanity are spouting the most vulgar and vile types of sophistry!!! (IMSO)
