Indigenies cheering the loss of their government jobs. LOL.
It’s going to be a muddy mess.
They’re going to regret this.
Never heard of this. Wasn’t keeping up with the dam thing.
Our fave vacation…. All the area around Klamath. Glad we have pictures!
Is Hydro Power there ending?
Good luck with the NGD suckkas...
I suspect fish ladders could have been put in place, allowing the salmon and others to travel upstream.
Luddites
What will they do when the spring and fall floods along the river start happening again?
How about the lost salmon eggs that haven’t hatched when the dams are removed? How is that going to affect the salmon runs and how long will it take to recover?
Where are they going to replace the loss of electricity when the dams come down?
How will they irrigate the farm land that depends on the water from the dams?
Just a few questions.
“Pacific Power owns and operates seven hydroelectric projects on the Klamath. The dams provide enough power to supply the energy needs of 70,000 households. They were built by the California Oregon Power Company, a predecessor to Pacific Power, that served Southern Oregon and Northern California.”

#1 They just removed useful hydro electric generating capacity
#2 The reservoirs created by the dams were used by farmers to irrigate crops
#3 The Indians will go in with large power boats to rape the salmon harvest. They don’t use canoes anymore. They’ll probably hire Mexicans to do this grunt work, Injuns will sit on their asses and get huge checks. Think of this as an Indian Salmon Casino.
Ping.

“...restoring a once-thriving watershed that tribal communities have long relied on...”
BS.
They rely on Uncle Sugar’s weekly checks, EBT cards and lots of alcohol & dope.
Indians are the biggest BS artists around. Only libs fall for this rubbish. This conman sounds like Al Sharpton.
I spent over 22 years in WA state and I have seen in person how Tribes in the Pacific Northwest and SE Alaska, treat their natural resources. They don’t have a clue about conservation or preservation for that matter. It is all about the money. Most all the schiff you hear about living as one with the land is just Progressive Liberal marketing groups, that have a political agenda.
I’ve seen the same here in Hawaii for the last 22 years. Natives are the worst protectors of the “Aina”. It is all about the money.
HOW many farms & ranches will be destroyed without controlled irrigation water?
What will hold back FLOODING in the Spring???
Grew up in So. Oregon fishing the Klamath river.
Big trout!
This is gonna be ugly for all the reasons already stated.
Salmon numbers?
Better off “controlling” the seal lion / seal populations...
The Oregon I grew up in is 100% gone.
Thankfully, a Georgia resident for a couple decades now with no plans to even visit, considering the crazy gun law just passed.
“...abundant populations of migratory birds, suckers, salmon and other fish could thrive...”
Well suckers for sure! Watch for unintended consequences! There was a reason they were built. Bad luck living back in the 1870’s.
Once the dams are removed and all is back to normal it will
be the same amount of water flowing down stream as before. Once the flow is stabilized then there will be more acreage
for people to reside on.
