especially in the PNW

also it kills shitloads of birds when it works

Feds are fighting the removals

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Feds should allow it and not have them import energy from other states

they wanted to be "green" afterall

Feds and states cant limit state to state import and export

My thing is power aside. Removing the dams will kill agriculture cause of irrigation losses

All those oregon wines which is one of the few remaining large industries will hurt

can't they just cut the power lines <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Privately owned

Shit, I forgot about all of that

The entiriety of the Yakima basin exists because of the dams allowing for the irrigation pumps to bring it inland

Yep

Same with Willamette

@Fitzydog but these retards don't think about their actions

nor are they ever personally effected by them

The rogue valley already took a bit of a hit from the removal of the rogue river dam

@galesteppes The otherside of the mountains are someone elses problem, right?

Question @Goblin_Slayer_Floki , where does portland get it's drinking water?

Bullrun

I did misspeak. The kalamath river dams are being removed as we speek. Lower snake is in planning with main columbia on the docket for future

The Bull Run reservoir is fed from glacial runoff off Mt Hood

Yea

They sure as shit dont get it from the columbia

I fully support global warming

You dont even want to swim in that part of the columbia

make mt hood snowless

Oh god, more drought

@Fitzydog but then portlanders wouldn't have their water
<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Oregon always draughts

@galesteppes naw they qould syphon from the rest of the state and tax the rest of the state to do it

<:oof:494878589406150657>

Too real

How do you deal with these leeches then?

with fire?

Yes

**BREAKING NEWS: PORTLAND IS SUDDENLY ENGULFED BY A MASSIVE WILD FIRE**

and nothing of value was lost

*Please daddy! More!*

**FOLLOW UP: THE FIRE IS NOW SPREADING SOUTH TO EUGENE**
