I am sure I can google up an article from the bark eaters that would disagree about any dams but it is not that important to me. The fact that it is still a geographical anomaly that you have rivers that lend themselves to hydro is still true. Quite frankly, there are plenty of places I can't go because the land and resources are necessary for commerce to preserve the society. Why can't fish and game with good populations be any different... Some places, they just can't go anymore, it's progress, that's all... Such arrogance in your ignorance. It matters if access to habitat helps the fish survive. You...not so much. |

Right, kind of like when we white people decided we were high and mighty over the lowly native Americans and shoved them into reservations. Got it. |
