Dams should remain on Klamath
Klamath River Pacific Power dams should not be removed as proposed
in the
I fully agree with the statement by Paul Vogel, spokesman for
PacifiCorp. He said: “One questions what was settled. When the license
holder and several hundred thousand customers didn’t have a seat at
the table, that is irresponsible. We initiated settlement talks three
years ago. To have no part in crafting of this document, it really makes
you ask yourself what substance there is to it.”
It is ludicrous to even consider removing dams that are a renewable
energy source that create no air pollution. Per the Herald and News,
these dams generate 750,000-megawatt-hours of electricity a year enough
to provide 70,000 customers power.
Why should we as Pacific Power customers pay $180 million for dam
removal?
Stop
this nonsense now. Please write to PacifiCorp headquarters and
say, “No Klamath River dam removal.” The address: PacifiCorp,
