Dam shame: Green activists target clean hydropower to ‘save the fish’

Instead of using fossil fuels, we’re told to use “clean” energy: wind, solar or hydropower.

Hydro is the most reliable. Unlike wind and sunlight, it flows steadily.

But now, environmental groups want to destroy dams that create hydro power.

“Breach those dams,” activists shout. “Now is the time, our fish are on the line!”

The activists have targeted four dams on the Snake River in Washington state. They claim the dams are driving salmon to extinction.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
