Personally i would need more info than what is posted to sign that petition. I think it is a shame that Hydro power is looked at being the problem for many things... Power comes from some where, I think dams are the cleanest safest way...  :twocents:

Signed.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I don't know much about that area but I'll say this.  I am a HUGE hydro power fan.  Our state seems to be against them and says they aren't "green".  To me, it's liquid wind.  I would much rather see 20 more dams than one more windmill which is a dollar trap and apparently is supposed to make people feel better.

I too can't sign it.

i would have to say that we have enough dams, wind ect.. in this state. if i remember correctly, the pwr companies are selling tons of electricity to other states, calif being the biggest user, so wa should be producing more than enough for our own needs. I dont care if the excess gets sold off but i see no reason to distroy an ecosystem in this state to create additional power. especially in a system that is being designated for protection by the state legislature & nominated for fed protection by the usfs.

the OP might know the most on this, but I'm not sure this project is about fish or power.  I had read somewhere that it is mostly about getting some federal money or some tax credit.

I kinda understand the blowing of the wind river damn because they couldn't upgrade it with a fish ladder to meet the renewing of the lease. I  Have not said yea or nay just that the information given is not very detailed. I would assume that a fish ladder would be a requirement for  a new dam. likely one with all the updated knowledge about them... Do we need it? Don't know, Not enough info as to why its bad.  :twocents:

Even if fish can go up, sediment and wood debris usually can't travel down.  From what I've been hearing through grapevines is that it isn't too far in the future of having submerged tidal turbines in the sound that could in theory power most of the west coast...but it will probably cause whales to lose sleep.  There are a few biomass plants ready to go other than court blockages--supposedly burning slash in a power facility is worse than coal.  The power has to come from someplace...just have to decide which form you prefer I guess.

Evict how many people from their homes?  For what amounts to a 1% boost in power production?  Doesn't sound like it's really needed. :dunno:
