Barb,
Once again you change what was said to fit your arguement. I said nothing about the smaller dams, only the large dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers. Had those, I believe 9, dams been allowed to be completed we would have vastly more electricity available now. That would have also spurred upgrades to the power grid to handle it. We would be much farther along the road that everyone seems to want us to take. I don't argue that a lot of the smaller dams did a lot of damage to many things, but I've also watched as certain people continue to over fish the Salmon runs and blame the Sport Fishermen for ruining the runs. These are arguements for a different time though.
