Why remove dams?

WHY WOULD SOME CONSIDER TO PAY TO REMOVE A "ENDLESS FREE POWER, NON POLLUTING POWER STATION" ---------IT PROVIDES POWER FOR 60,000 HOMES--------IT PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT BOATING AND FISHING AREA---------

IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FLUSHING AFFECT, THAT FISHING WOULD NEVER MAKE IT UP TO THE LAKES-------THERE IS AT LEAST TWO MAJOR SANDBARS THAT ARE LOCATED 6 MILES FROM THE MOUTH OF THE OCEAN IN THE TOWN OF KLAMATH, AND THE SECOND IS LOCATED IN HAPPY CAMP----

THE FLUSHING AFFECT ALLOWS THE FISH TO PASS THE ELEVATED SURGE OF WATERS PROVIDED BY THE IRONGATE DAM--------

IF YOU WANT MORE FISH UPSTREAM PUT IN TWO FISH LADDERS TO MAKE IT PAST COPCO LAKE------

REMOVING THE POWER MONEY MAKER WILL ONLY LEAVE ALL THE OCEAN SALMON AT THE FIRST LAND LOCK SAND BAR-----

REGARDS,
