Nature's dams on the Klamath River blocked fish for millennia, Commentary One of those five dams was 130 feet tall off the riverbed and was 1,000 feet thick!...The resulting modern dam was nearly as tall as the original natural 130-foot-tall dam, and brought the water level in Clammittee Lake back up to where it had been thousands of years before, restoring that ancient lake to its full glory where a myriad of unique species of flora and fauna had evolved and remain present today..."

| After destroying the California Klamath Dams, eco warriors are coming for you, The New American 8/5/21. "The effort to blow the dams, which is proceeding even though 80 percent of voters rejected it, will destroy life in the area—not to mention the environment.

| Removing Klamath dams is loss of huge investment, H&N by Charles Ehlers 6/16/21. "...The average annual power production for these developments is around 75 megawatts hourly. At their production level, the annual value of their power is production level, at 10 cents per kilowatt the annual value of the power is $65.7 million....A megawatt will power approximately 1,000 homes. 75 megawatts can provide electricity for approximately 225,000 people...What else? No one knows for sure what the effects of removal will be. The silt behind the dams could poison the river for years or, in the event of a major flood, create a dead zone in the ocean at the mouth of the Klamath River. Who will pay for the cleanup?..." | |

"...In my opinion, (the survey) was fraudulent...Dam removal proponents intended to use the survey result to convince the Secretary of the Interior and then the U.S. Congress to authorize dam removal. When Congress didn’t bite, the proponents changed the thrust of their attack to go around Congress and to ram it through unelected bureaucratic agencies instead, such as the Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC), and the California Public Utilities Commission, which is where we are now..." | |
