Even if it bankrupts hundreds of farmers it must be OK. The LA Times says so.

And what about the economic cost associated with increased likelihood of flooding and agriculture losses?

Marsh2 is the definitive resource on this Brouhaha. My concern is the amount of sediment sitting behind the dams and where will it go...

A lot of enviro groups wanting to take down dams are going to be thrilled that their investment in the democratic party may start to reep dividends.
To: calcowgirl
Why has no one commented on this glaring issue?
Removing the dams and buying replacement electricity over the next three decades
A state that has rolling blackouts because it CAN'T get enough electricity is going to shut down production of electricity. "We're the government and were here to help you..."

Check out the story at the link that tubebender posted.
(snip)
Humboldt County Supervisor Jill Geist, who has been a part of the settlement talks, said the report is crucial to leveraging a settlement. Money that could be used toward decommissioning of the dams was approved as part of a bond measure passed by California voters last month. Geist said groups have had productive conversations lately that could produce an offer to Pacificorp for the dams by mid-month.

Why has no one commented on this glaring issue? Because at this point, the whole thing is insane. Not only what you posted, but when combined with the new rules for Global Warming regulation, including not being able to buy power from 'dirty' producers in other states, one wonders if there will be any electricity at all. Back to your caves, Californians!

Pacificorp's only concern is getting the most largess from the taxpayers because less power available means more money from ratepayers for the remaining juice to our homes and businesses...
