    Default California getting rid of four dams and the hydroelectric they produce for fish

    Yep, only in insane California do you remove four dams on the Klamath river and their hydroelectric production along with the stored water, when you already have a shortage of electrical power in the middle of a massive drought within your state all so fish can swim up and down the river

    The Greentards are almost pissing themselves with glee over this.

    I've kayaked that river. It is in a remote part of the state mostly surrounded by wilderness and US forest land, and it is nowhere near any significant California cities.. It is not a source of supply for irrigation water, agricultural water, or municipal supply. The electricity generated do not supply any significant California cities, and probably is used for small scale rural electrification in southern Oregon.

    They HAD to get rid of the dams and the stored water reservoirs, TAG. Because the mob in the great state of Mexifornia had been exercising their legal "lifestyle" rights to shit in them, piss in them and toss their used spikes in them. After a while the water got clogged up with a zillion turds and started stinking of stale urine. Apparently 14 year old White boy went swimming in one of the dams and when he came out he had turned brown and their were 112 spikes sticking out of his body so that he looked like a human porcupine. His mother rushed him to the local Emergency ward and the duty doctor sent a complaint to Gavin Newman's office threatening legal action. I think that's how this all started (?).

    That's not what the articles I read stated in terms of water supply and hydro power. It also doesn't change that both items are in short supply in California.

    You could have left "rolling" out of that, because that's where they're headed...

    That's funny since the first article you linked to said this: I guess that means you didn't read it.
    He made several points to correct some myths about the dam removal process:

    • The dams are not used for irrigation or municipal water supplies.

    • The Klamath River won’t go dry in the summertime, since there is already water storage in Upper Klamath Lake. The dams are used only for hydropower – and not for irrigation or water storage as other reservoirs are.

    • Because the dams were not designed for flood control, there will be no meaningful loss in flood safety to residents that live along the river. “The current dams would be full long before they could help in flood control downriver,” he said.

    • The sediment behind the dams is not toxic and has been sampled extensively.
    The second source you linked to says this: I guess that means you didn't read that one either.

    While the four dams no longer generate significant power, according to PacifiCorp, some residents along the California-Oregon border have opposed the demolition because of a reluctance to surrender any power source, the pending loss of waterfront property on the reservoirs and less water available for fighting wildfires.

    The dams are not used for irrigation, municipal water or flood control.
