We are posting this article from Gateway Pundit in it's entirety. THIS is important, and not just because I can see one of these dams from my deck. What will you do when they come after YOUR property!?? Why do they want to destroy the cleanest, cheapest fuel available??? We are already being billed monthly for this dam removal and it hasn't happened...yet! Please help us stop it.Good Grief…
Now Team Obama Wants to Blow Up 3 Dams In the Name of Junk Science
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder…
The Obama Administration now wants to demolish three dams in northern California to supposedly save the salmon… But the whole reason to support the move was based on shoddy and inconclusive scientific data.
Dam fish
Greenheads say the dams threaten salmon. They want the dams gone and Obama agrees.
Now a scientist is challenging the junk science behind the decision.
The City Square reported:
Against intense local opposition, the Obama administration wants to demolish three dams on the Klamath River in Siskiyou County, California. Low-cost clean hydroelectricity as well as water for irrigation would be lost if the dams were removed. Removal of the dams would also cause chaos for ranchers, homeowners, and small business who live and work in the downstream of the dams. Despite this, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has been trying to force dam removal for the supposed benefit of some salmon and steelhead spawning habitat.
Now, Prof. Paul R. Houser of George Mason University alleges that the administration’s plan is all based on junk science. In his role as science advisor to the Bureau of Reclamation, he was closely involved in the project. He has filed a formal complaint (PDF) alleging “intentional falsification” and “intentional . . . compromise of scientific and scholarly integrity.”
A dam in So. Oregon was recently removed...and NOW they can't deal with the sludge from it!
And HERE is a great, informed response by one of our county officials.
