Allegedly, for nearly 100 years, four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River have blocked salmon and steelhead trout from reaching more than 400 miles of habitat, encroached on Indigenous culture, and harmed water quality for people and wildlife.
These ‘environmentalists’ are de-growthers who want to turn back progress.
So, amid the removal of the dams, the experts killed the fish.
As many as hundreds of thousands of newly hatched Chinook salmon released into the Klamath River have died due to “gas bubble disease” caused by extreme changes in water pressure, reports The Guardian.
The deadly condition is caused when high pressure aerates water, saturating it with natural gases that form microbubbles inside the bodies of the fish.
That was one of the critics’ concerns before they proceeded. Also, they are losing a great source of electricity.
It is the largest dam removal along the 257-mile river that flows across Oregon and California.
The experts killed the fish.
They released about 830,000 and have three million they produced in a hatchery. This fish slaughter is allegedly temporary.
The administration wants to electrify everything, and they’re okay with destroying hydroelectric dams. Okay then.

The only way to help Salmon on that river is to introduce a keystone species like Beaver. Beaver dams will allow migrating Salmon over on their spawning journey, but also provide critical ‘nurseries’ for the salmon fry to grow whilst not getting swept away by winter storm rains. You want Salmon, introduce Beaver. Of course, the ‘other’ side of this story is about farming. The dam allowed farmers to irrigate thousands of acres, which they can no longer do. Beaver would also help solve this problem too.
The salmon that died were hatchery salmon — not wild salmon. Wild salmon are MUCH more robust and able to survive these kinds of shocks. I still believe the dam removal was a wise decision.
Of course you do. After all, who needs inexpensive, reliable electrical service?
Are fish ladders banned in Oregon and California?
“The experts killed the fish.” Ha, as far as I’m concerned, the experts have gone the way of the dinosaur. These so-called experts graduating from college today don’t receive a quality education any longer. They’ve been spoon fed climate change concerns their entire lives. In today’s world, theyre rewarded for mediocrity and there won’t be any consequences for the stupidity of these so-called experts.
Environmentalists care nothing about the earth, they do lust for power. All of them should be dropped in the Gobi Desert to live there in peace and prosperity.
