[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 3084111, member: 104363"] So the total elimination of dams and hydro-electric these produce, store freshwater, prevent seasonal flooding, provide recreation, create a massive revenue base to use for many other projects is bad according to this group. That's all we need to know. There were no CO2 studies. They used old environmental impact statements to create "data". They threw in CO2 from construction equipment when these dams broke ground and lumped that in. One look at the editorial pages of this news source puts this all into perspective. They do not like dams of any kind. In my neck of the woods, without Colorado River hydro and storage, without the Salt River and Verde series of 5 dams that store water, Southern Cal, Nevada and Arizona would be uninhabitable, no farming would exist and it would have changed the world by lack of manufacturing and production of aerospace and defense, precious metals, computer hardware, on and on. We cannot just remove dams based on shoddy "science". I'm all on board with mini nukes and nuclear fusion to compliment hydro. Solar and wind will not produce reliable clean electricity. It's filthy to produce the equipment and batteries and these projects are being challenged across the lower 48 even by environmental groups. [/QUOTE]
