I thought this might be of interest to some of our readers...
"This coming Sunday evening, June 22, CBS News 60 Minutes will feature an expose on the severely depressed salmon populations in the Columbia and Snake Rivers. The story will spotlight the tremendous amount of taxpayer dollars our federal government continues to spend on ineffective programs that are failing to restore an endangered national treasure - wild salmon of the Columbia and Snake Rivers."

The solution is to remove the dams. However what problems does that cause?
apparently you haven't lived here very long. Before the dams were put in above Bonneville Portland and Vancouver experienced some pretty severe floods, infact Vanport was erased from the map.
Blue Bell
Vanport was erased from the map because the people were ignorant enough to built on a flood plain.
You can not honestly think that it is a good idea to build at or below sea level, next to a river. That is a recipe for things like Vanport.
Tualatin has the same problems, every couple of years their entire downtown gets flooded. Why? Because Tualatin is built on a WetLand next to the Tualatin river.
If human's do stupid things in the respect of "its cheaper", humans pay the being stupid price.
