[CBSnews] PORTLAND, Ore. -- U.S. regulators approved a plan Thursday to demolish four dams on a California river and open up hundreds of miles of salmon habitat that would be the largest dam removal and river restoration project in the world when it goes forward.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's unanimous vote on the lower Klamath River dams is the last major regulatory hurdle and the biggest milestone for a $500 million demolition proposal championed by Native American tribes and environmentalists for years. The project would return the lower half of California's second-largest river to a free-flowing state for the first time in more than a century..

this was something of an extortion/bribery victory for the Greens. They promoted various regulations which would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars which the Utility could not pay without raising rates and then as a carrot gave the utility some funding contingent on removing the dams-- by the way, Warren Buffet's group owns a lot of the utility.

Isn't northern California flooding right now? Bet some dams on the flooding rivers would come in handy right now, not to mention more stored water for the annual man-made drought.

I live near the Cuyahoga Valley National Park which is great place to total a vehicle if you like deer meat. Within the valley there are a bunch of dams that have not served a purpose for more than a century. They are too expensive to remove and pose a danger to kayakers that don’t know what they are doing. If the California project includes dams associated with bygone mills, I don’t have a problem with their removal. That said, I assume that all projects in California are dumb and corrupt as a default. I lived in California for eight years.

I’m pretty sure that the idea of a national police force under the DOJ/FBI will not happen. It would be good to ask Dems and RINOs for a position statement to see how far they are down the road on this. The federal disinformation infrastructure is much more prevalent than I was aware of.
