But cant touch most of it

Cause enviros

Just like cali, or, and wa burn every year. Because the enviros chased out the loggers

the silly thing is that enviros idiots are the ones that stops eclectic cars being truly environmental as now they run on coal power but if they did go for nuclear power they be offsetting the damage of making them

idk we're pretty much entirely hydro here

hydro is a good way to generate power. but a lot of the power still is coal or other fossil fuel

Well they're plebs then lol

and to nail down the point fully, a coal plant produce around 3 times airborne radioactivity then a old nuclear plant

Yeah, coals dirty as fuck lol

@Fitzydog oregon, wa, and ca are removing all their dams

Thanks to the enviros

What, all the dams on the Columbia? lol

They are on the docket

Cause muh fishies

and wind power is not environmental at all as they kill all the bird life around them for miles and the noise pollution is like having an airport next door 24/7

No they're not. That's 80% of the power for 25% of the country

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki how dafaq are they going to get power?

Today the main stem of the Columbia River has 14 dams, of which three are in Canada and 11 in the US. Four mainstem dams and four lower Snake River dams contain navigation locks to allow ship and barge passage from the ocean as far as Lewiston, Idaho.

Im willing to bet they have not taught of that yet

All 4 lower snake removals are approved and the remaining fl4 mainstreams are under planning

"Muh wind"

Oregon removed hydro from the state definition of "green energy"

look at post about wind that I did make 4 post ago

Wind is still part of oregons "green" definition

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki I hope Idaho builds more dams to fuck them over

As is solar

They're federal projects

But solar woul laughable in the nw

solar is to unreliable to base all your power generation on

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
