Hard to Miss by Mike Cloke Lewiston Tribune, July 16, 2021

Reading the Oct. 3 newspaper, one could not miss the full-page, color ad trying to force the end to our safe, green, abundant and plentiful hydroelectricity.

What travelers to Canada and Alaska already know is salmon runs on many rivers have been dropping, even on rivers that never had a dam on them.

In the same edition of the newspaper, buried on Page 3A was the Associated Press article on reporting the lack of returning Yukon River salmon. People there opine the cause is over-fishing and changing of the climate. But there was no mention of dams.

Would it not be silly, 30 years from now, if our children can’t drive their electric car or turn on their air conditioner due to a lack of electricity because of breached Snake and Columbia river dams and there were still no salmon.
