They breached a hydroelectric dam as they insist we drive EVs!
All they had to do was drain the da sand then use high explosives to blow out the middle section of the dam and the river would have taken care of the rest. This is just a grifting leftist money-laundering scheme.
I'm thinking of PG&E as yet another Democrat money-laundering operation.

Gee- didn’t see that coming /s
California is dying. Get out while you can.
From the article:
“River gauges down-river from the breached dams showed zero (0) dissolved oxygen for days. The only organisms that arguably survived and will take full advantage of such an event are the anaerobic organisms.
The Klamath River became a classic ‘dead zone‘ and even the heartiest creatures, such as the native Klamath River crayfish and sculpin were decimated among millions of fish killed, including trout, sucker fish, sturgeon and others in the lakes and down river. Coastal mollusks will be inundated with these toxin carrying sediments.
...
The release of the sediments containing concentrated phosphates and nitrates that had been sequestered in clay-mud and into the Klamath River, adversely impacted the water quality on the River. And when combined with epic turbidity by the clay-mud sediments, it had a catastrophic impact, creating a river of death.
All of the fish eggs in the redds from the fall cohort of salmon and trout in the main-stem of Klamath River below Iron gate dam and down river are now covered in clay silt and dead. Adult salmonoids and trout in the River are also dead.”
But the salmon runs are safe, at least...
Unfortunately states are true democracies. Our favorite vacation was WA, OR, NorCal. Our cat is named after the Rogue River.
I wish we could save it, but states are mobacracies.
The onlt hope would be to attract enough constitutionalists to the area. It’s too late for that after covid tyranny. There are satanic idols in Iowas capital building.
We lost it, at least you are somewhere with a nice view of the end.
I remember Jeff _____(?) and the Klamath protests from the late 90s.
Lots of animals trapped in mud from the flooding are being shot. That’s not I the news.
Gotta kill some fishes (and deer) to save some fishes. Or something like that.
Bttt
I believe many of us here warned of the ecological damage that would be caused by the removable of Klamath River dam.
I could mock these people for their incompetence, lack of basic common sense, and refusal to appoint people with actual experience and knowledge to make these decisions. However, I don’t think that is the case. They are very knowledgeable and competent in what they are doing. They have a plan. That plan is to destroy our country.
Maybe they are planning a fire sale*.

When you search on “Klamath River” it is all how wonderful the future is going to be with all the fish coming back. Of course, they say it will take a couple of years as all the sediment goes to the ocean. I had to add the word “Black” to the search before I found a woman who is filling a quart jar every day to show how black the water has become. And what will happen every few years when they have floods and thousands of homes are washed away like the breach at Oroville a few years ago? The dams were put in NOT ONLY for hydropower but also to temper the heavy and light years of rain and snow. I swear if these people behind this stupidity had a brain they would dangerous. Oh wait. They don’t have a brain and they are dangerous.
