'DAM' —THAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA! Biden Tearing Down Four Hydropower Dams to Protect Salmon, Seriously

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.24.23

Just when you thought Joe Biden couldn’t make the energy crisis any worse…

According to a report from Fox News, President Biden is siding with lawmakers who have backed tearing down four hydropower dams in Washington to protect salmon species; this is real.

From Fox News:

Biden remarked during a conservation event Tuesday that he would work with tribes, Sens. Patty Murray, D-Wash., Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, to “bring healthy and abundant salmon runs back” to the Columbia River system. The president didn’t say he would work with lawmakers or industry groups that have adamantly opposed breaching the dams.

Over the last several years — amid declining salmon populations in the lower Snake River which winds through Idaho and southwestern Washington before feeding into the Columbia River which, in turn, feeds into the Pacific Ocean — Murray and Cantwell have opened the door to proposals breaching four federally managed dams in the river system. And Simpson has gone further, crafting a $33.5 billion framework endorsed by tribes to breach the dams.

“There are several major problems with glibly saying, ‘We’re going to destroy the dams,'” said Todd Myers, the environmental director for the free market think tank Washington Policy Center. “The first is that it is contrary to the science. The Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA Fisheries and others did the most comprehensive scientific assessment of the dams ever a few years ago. And it concluded very clearly that we should keep the dams and that salmon can recover with the dams.”

“The Biden administration is going against the most comprehensive scientific assessment done by the federal government itself,” Myers continued.

Well, the Biden Admin doesn’t have a great record for “following the science.”
