So much for civilization with cheap clean energy and irrigation for farms and food for millions, The Sierra Club has helped themselves but caused problems for the rest of society Solar and wind power can't begin to replace that power and don't feed anyone
Obsolete, these small, end of life hydroelectric dams were not producing electricity in 2024. Never should have been built in the first place. Now that these dams have been removed, Hope the fishery will recover PS - irrigation was never within the scope of the dams, a small diversion canal/ tunnel was added off of the river to deliver water to another basin.
IMHO hydro-electric power is an equivalent to either solar or wind except it is reliable and on-tap. To sacrifice drinking-water, with the added benefit of hydro-electric, just to allow salmon to go up-river to spawn and die seems nuts to me and shows how crazy the greens are. They'll happily sacrifice whole cities just to enable fish. The same happened with the man-made river project that flowed south from the San Francisco bay to Los Angeles. That was scaled-back to protect the bay smelt. They actually only found three fish in the entire bay area (all miles apart) so they were unlikely to breed. Remember that California is mostly desert so water is kinda important. JMHO.
You can have both by swapping to nuclear it’s clean reliable and they can kill the dams and have more power and reliability. Coal Has also gotten drastically cleaner. While not perfect the environmental harm of coal as been managed to the point that it’s almost zero
@@DerkSpringer Great fan of nuclear but the emphasis would then change to the nuclear waste and the coolant water. The cleanliness of modern-day coal is also not understood by the green lobby.
@ nuclear waste is recyclable to a point. There is also a giant hollowed out mountain in the Nevada desert that has already been built specifically for nuclear waste. It’s in a dry arid area where the water table is almost nonexistent. It has been tested and strengthend where needed for natural disasters and it’s sitting there empty because the government is scared to certify it and move all the current waste that’s piling up at current plants. I’ve been around coal plants my whole life my dad worked at one and I am a coal truck driver. I can tell you the filter houses on most modern coal powerplants filters so much the only thing coming out the stacks is steam.
@@DerkSpringer Yes, I worked on the periphery of the power generation industry myself and you wouldn't believe the cleanliness of those scrubber units. I also have been to the Yucca site and it's very impressive and secure as heck.
In the early yrs wages ranged from 1 dollar a day to 80 per day in the 60's. Today the labor cost is around 200 per day. One factor of the cost difference as well as everything else involved.
These 100 year old dams were impounding enormous amounts of silt, the ultimate fate of all dams. Their days were numbered. Better to replace with gas turbines or nuclear.
ya right, try to get a nuclear power plant permit, and if you did get it the cost would be 5 or more times what the damn output costs, and gas they tried to outlaw it in wa, state. when you have clean cheap reliable dams you hold onto them for all your worth and dont let the greens sabotage your energy future.
@ California already gets a ton of coal power there is a couple power plants here in Utah that sends all their power directly to California. The state just tells their people lies to make them think they are getting nothing but renewable. I know this because my dad worked at one of them for over 30 years.

These 4 old dams on the Klamath River are not the only river dams that are being removed. There are some other dams that are being removed in the United States to restore natural river flow and fish populations, especially salmon fish. These 4 dams were basically small dams. The 169 megawatts of power that they generated would be equivalent to one unit of a natural gas burning steam plant built in the 1950s.
There is another dam that at least one organization and some people would like to see removed and restoration done. The dam is located in Yosemite National Park. The dam is called O'Shaughnessy Dam on the Tuolumne River that forms Hetch Hetchy reservoir, which is a water supply for the city of San Francisco. This brings up some interesting history. Yosemite National Park had not one but two spectacular valleys, Yosemite Valley and Hetch Hetchy Valley. However Hetch Hetchy valley was sacrificed so that the city of San Francisco could have a dependable water supply. It is highly unlikely that this dam will be removed.
IN KAUAI WE MODERISED OUR HYDRO POWER..WE ALSO HAVE AN INCIDERATOR.. NONE OF THIS WILL HAPPEN IN CALI WE WENT 2 WEEKS ON RENEWABLES DURING THE DAY,NOT NIGHT
I love the salmon l was a salmon fishing man but no more in the UK the salmon are no more because of over fishing on the coast l was a river fishing man but l love this but one more thing we noticed that the seasons have changed 2 month late overtime of years. With the dam thing l think if you stop a river you are stopping a the earth bloodstream don't forget the earth turning. And please don't over fish the salmon when are gone they are gone and not coming back.

Actually solar and windmills usually are built on prime agricultural land because it’s easier. So more farm land ruined.
@@superstarcat7654and that causes more pollution to produce genius.
@@southern04man
Exactly !!
shame to lose clean hydro power and replace it with what, unreliable solar or wind
Should be replaced by nuclear or coal.

the dams at end of life because the greens wanted them gone, you could bring in dredges and use them for a hundred years

How did you replace the energy generation?
They're not. They could put in fish ladders and upgrade the gen units
they are finding out that wind sucks in a lot of ways. and with the cloud seeding solar is only have of what they say.
Stupid is as Stupid does !
Now that the dams have been removed, wonder how the Klamath river is flowing after the cyclone bomb rain event in November 2024?

That would be a 'forever' legal battle -- neither could happen in CA

One problem that no one is mentioning is siltation of those lake beds.....Hydro Plants don't operate on mud...
Revelation 21
The Millennium Kingdom of Jesus is on the New Earth 🌎
It will be Greatly Enlarged.
Look in Revelation 21, 22,
The New Jerusalem is
1400 miles wide, long,
And high
That implies quite an increase in atmosphere.....
The Earth will be Much! Larger.
What will replace the water used in agriculture?
Salmon die after they lay their eggs
No shit
Not always, some live through a few spawning seasons.. look it up.
WHAT A joke

Free Fish is the reason
How do the farmers get water for the crops after they break the dams ? And obviously there’s a mega dam coming further down right ? 🤣
The dam water was not used crops
Thank You, easy come, easy go..asap
And all the fresh water goes back to the sea never to be used again 🤣🤣
Not really, it evaporates and falls as rain, sort of like it has done forever!
don't get me wrong. i love the dams going. just tell all the sides.
that's what a person should do.
Who's the stupid idiot who put them in charge, this is stupid.

7:35 ya brilliant blue from editing the dishcharge water in the spillway tube doesnt change at all so some crappy editing even here lol
Are the all gone yet? now we hafta google info ourself.
Now the problem is the deplition of evaporation without pounds
Preservation of Water Trumps generation of Electricity..
How is fresh water preserved when it is allowed to run in the ocean?
Go ask Trump.
His idea to demolish them?
I missed that part of the video.
Time stamp, please.
Dams are dangerous and destructive...
A California thing 🙄
Life goes on and change is always happening. Let's just hope that change is for the better for everyone. ❤
Small changes are always happening, but mostly the earth stays the same.
----- The dams are long gone and fish are using places in the river that they were blocked from for over 100 years.
You couldn't get a human to read the script?

sounded like all propaganda to me!
the droughts were caused by frequence work. you know it. not good to leave parts out. people remember when some one does that. start telling all.
