Interesting story- I would like to hear the about the consequences of removing the dams. Would the loss of the electricity remove critical power from an electric grid that needs to gain power not remove capacity to pay for all the new electric vehicles we are buying to save the planet. How many KW are we losing and how will we replace it. Are the tribes willing to give some of their casino revenue to offset the likely increased cost of electricity to average Washingtonians as these dams cheap power is removed from the grid? Do these dams provide irrigation water to help Eastern Washington farmers? Will dam removal force farmers to potentially get ground water by drilling new wells and depleting the already low water aquifers? Would the Se, Si, Le be willing to pay for these wells and or new water pipelines or pump stations to replace the irrigation water?
I do love a good salmon steak and I like the idea of more salmon and more natural river habitat. We should hear more about what these ideas cost instead of just going along a spirit journey that makes a small group of people happy and hurts the rest of the state.
