Bowing To Eco-Groups, Biden Plans To Shutter Dams Providing Clean Energy To Millions
The White House, in coordination with Native American tribes and environmental groups, announced actions Thursday that provide a pathway for breaching, or removing, four hydroelectric dams in Washington state to protect salmon.
As part of the announcement, the federal government entered into a legal agreement with the Pacific Northwest tribes and environmental organizations filed earlier in the day in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. [emphasis, links added]
Under that agreement, the tribes and eco groups — which had sued the federal government to breach the dams forcibly — agreed to stay the litigation through 2028.
