The Best Teacher by Abel Workman Lewiston Tribune, February 12, 2022

Political gain for the wealthy politicians.

Environmentalists pay biologists to write so-called research on fish that is pointed at their goals of political gain for the wealthy politicians.

The people who work at the dams have hands-on experience with fish are being stopped when they do something that works for the fish, but doesn't work for these environmentalists.

These people working at the dams are doing things that work for the fish by trial and error, which is the very best teacher in the world.

They know what works and what doesn't work because they have done the work.

Taking out dams that provide the cleanest power available is stupid. Wind and solar power have a long way to go to prove their reliability as a source of power. We have yet to see what the maintenance will cost or what these systems will produce.

Working to improve fish passage at dams only makes common sense.
