As work begins on the largest US dam removal project, tribes look to a future of growth
Work has begun on the largest dam removal project in U.S. history
The largest dam removal project in United States history is underway along the California-Oregon border — a process that won't conclude until the end of next year with the help of heavy machinery and explosives.
The restoration of this former reservoir is going to be an epic task of conservation with very interesting results. I'm sure extensive measurement and tracking will make this not only a useful scientific experiment but hopefully a prototype for future dam removals.
It would be so cool to view it live in action over time
I’ve been up there and spent time on two Rez’s and the Klamath river was so bad. The red algae and low levels were terrible for the salmon runs. The Yurok and Hoopa have relied on it forever and hate the dams.
Hydroelectric power was a dumb idea. Cool idea, but short sighted and reeked of manifest destiny.
I'm not sure how demolishing renewable energy sources is going to help protect the environment during a climate crisis.
For my two cents, demolish the last fossil fuel power plants in a country, and we can then start taking a look at hydroelectric dams to tear down for environmental concerns.
