Scary links today!
I asked to hear something nice about myself and got the distinct impression it was from a judge just before giving me 20 to life.
My biggest fear is the crazies are stoking the public so much we may see witch burnings soon.
The Klamath River is running freely and the Salmon are like kids the day they open the city pools.
That’s lovely, hug a tree, but should we be tearing down dams that could give us carbon free power?
I know they weren’t big hydroelectric dams but they couldn't be used for smaller generation?
They also held a reserve of potable water in a time where the climate is so uncertain?
I’m not qualified to answer these questions but I hope someone who is, is.
Yes, it was me questioning the salmons feelings.

I didn't think hydroelectric dams were carbon free. The necessary flooding causes a huge amount of CO2 or even methane generation from the rotting vegetation. Getting rid of the dam approximately reverses this part of the damage. ICBW however. Dams aren't terrible, by power generation standards, but they may have a better rep than they deserve. Unlike nuclear, which has a worse.
