Taking dams away????brCan there be a dumber idea?br Most dams, on migratory rivers have had "fish ladders" for many decadesbrThe fish figure it out, and use them, no problembrbr The powers that be, have been bitching about renewable energy for yearsbr Build more dams, store water, generate clean, renewable, affordable powerbr The fish can figure it out, but beurocrats can't!!
Comment from : Gary Howard

Always wondered where the first dam in the world was built🤔
Comment from : jai

What's going to replace the electricity dams provide and why is it so difficult to build fish ladders?
Comment from : William Phillips

Genuine question! Any Republicans involved in these dam removals?
Comment from : Paul Furey

A lot of small are currently being removed in France and Spain too It's not just in the United States

Go figure Oregon and Seattle Going green but killing hydro power

You're just a little bit low on your federal debt number it's at 33 trillion currently I am now wondering what other details you're way off on

Amazing work with dam removals 💙💙🌏🌏🌏
Comment from : Kim Odengren

As a local of these areas I love to see this topic get some discussion
Comment from : Hayden Hatcher

We the tax payer dont owe crap The government stole our income and embezzled it They owe us, and the people they debted to Plus they steal more with inflation

Antie UE, are you crazy?How does bother YOU our dams?
Comment from : Luiza

Now they need to dredge the sediment to fully restore for the wildlife
Comment from : Seth Burro

Well god dam
Comment from : Jeffrey Brown

I love on copco lake Your “facts” about the salmon are laughable
Comment from : Nine Fire

Dams are catastrophic for rivers and their ecosystem but they're far from the only reason salmon populations are plummeting Chinese factory fishing vessels in the Pacific are vacuuming up every migratory fish their advanced fish finding electronics can find, biomass depletion be damned Dammed or damned, we humans are self destructing our own world
Comment from : bardigan

So happy that they are restoring the river :) Those minerals need to reach the ocean guys
Comment from : David Mage

The green communist vision is to use "renewable energies" to power the society If they tear down damsHow do they want to generate electricity?brCaliforna faces a regular draughts Why not pumping the water to California?
Comment from : Holger Narrog

I am so happy how they blew up all that green energy and did it whit big trucks!!
Comment from : Taoxlegion

damn’t
Comment from : Gibran Putra

Fish ladders are weird, aren't they? I mean, are they intuitive to the fish or is there a little human help required?
Comment from : NightSprite

Within the next decade salmon populations in the Klamath river will cease entirely
Comment from : Eric L

Damn!
Comment from : hermano

wouldnt multiple smaller dams, built with the local ecology in mind, be better anyway?
Comment from : Aladdin

Sooooo we are going to remove the renewable energy damns, without a reliable cost effective green substitute potentially leading to a higher dependance on fossil fuels furthering global warming and killing the now saved fish population Makes a whole lot of sense
Comment from : John L

While are taking out these hydro power dams? Where is the make up electricity for the region come from and make up for the ever growing electricity demand? It’s estimated by 2050 50 million will be living along interstate corridor/ Cascadia region?
Comment from : T54390l Vseri

Was one of the biggest salmon populations until it got fished out with nets And they sold all those salmon on the side of the road

When you said officials you mean the Klamath tribe is taking these dams down
Comment from : Arturo Morales

I think it’s too late, there will be no water anymore what comes down from mountains😅

I am happy to see salmon enjoyers get their way over electricity fans

Comment from : John E

Mankind is funnybrbr"Build dams, use that "natural energy" nature gives us!" the PASTbrbr"Tear down that dam, restore nature!" todaybrbrYou see when your world view has no footings, popularity not reality becomes importantbrbrThe problem with popularity is that, well, it is infected with ignorance
Comment from : Bob Ussery

I stayed by the Irongate damnbrbrThe real problem is that they always try to maintain a high water levelbrbrFor water to stay fresher without algaebrbrThe levels should lower over the season to let the smaller stagnant pools emptybrbrThe reservoir should be close to empty by the end of the seasonbrbrThat keeps water freshbrbrThe problem is the idiots controlling the flow
Comment from : Stephen Rother

Will Power from other states be needed to replace the Electrical Power lost in California or will wind and solar make up the lost?
Comment from : Nobody Cares

dam thats expensive
Comment from : Toms Backyard Workshop

For a country that is far from reaching zero net emissions to remove hydropower dams makes little to no sense I get the idea od restoring watercourses but the damage is 100 yyears old and tiny in comparison to the complete cockup that is climate change and which needs to be dealt with now The US has very limited resources currently prioritizing this sort of infrastructure divestment especially eith the carbon footprint both of the deconstruction AND the carbon footprint of the alternative energy sources is a strange idea
Comment from : Agnete Thomsen

it's not hard to remove a dam also we are going to need more due to the lack of electricity
Comment from : thisisntme

Just send the BLM protestors to the dams

Well done
Comment from : HJ vdb

Going through a drought “let’s take the dams down” make sense to me
Comment from : Justin Kraus

how are they replacing those 70 000 homes worth of electricity?
Comment from : brachypelmasmith

many dams have bypass for fish
Comment from : Jebi Se

nothing like demolishing dams in a region struggling with water supply
Comment from : Tryinglittleleg

On one hand, you have indigenous groups who's land was stolen from them for profit as well as environmental groups who are bringing up scientific concerns about animal die-off, ecosystem harm, algae blooms, etcbrbrOn the other hand you have a bunch of white NIMBYs who are worried about paying slightly more in taxes and losing property valuebrbrGee, I wonder which one is more important to consider, the environment and the rights of indigenous people, or white yuppies who want line go up?brbrIt's a bloody mystery!
Comment from : EcoCodex

The large flowing dams arent the issue Its the ones that reduce water to a trickle or stop it that need to go We had it with the Murray river here Absolutely destroyed
Comment from : NomadUniverse

It's already done Why the hell do you want to remove it? A bunch of idiots
Comment from : cawwt

Well replacing small days with better engineered ones to allow fish to survive would be the preference, but leave it to big corporations to decide if they would rather continue operating or not Cause it seems like the energy from these dams wasn't particularly large in the first place
Comment from : Kisai Yuki

we don't owe shit the gov't does not it's citizens
Comment from : J S

Honestly, these are the ONLY reasonable dam removals that should ever happen
Comment from : TackyWhale

Love the channel, but Masterworks is a pretty suspect company, some say that it’s something of a Ponzi scheme

We should be building new dams we need the free poultion free energy We don't need the fish We can seed any type of fish in the lakes

Why not put a missile when the water is gone?
Comment from : Jagadeesh Kumar

Great less water brHippies will be ecstatic but will just move to mess up other states brHappy for the fish but we don’t live on hopes and payers
Comment from : Neville

Taking a Dam down is easy It's doing it in a controlled and safe way for everyone downstream that is the hard part

ask in spainbrthey are demolishing all the dams, just to fit in the agenda 2030brwe doomedbrand you are doing your part on it
Comment from : Hersir Nordic

How the hell is it cheaper to tear down a dam than building a salmon ladder
Comment from : Rob

While having a lakefront property no longer be on a lakefront is less than desirable, even there is a silver lining, aside from the long term benefits- if the residents absolutely demanded it, property lines could be extended to near the riverbanks, with the river itself having the necessary easement on its banks, and otherwises, subsidies are still a thing
Comment from : Ian Lehman

Our energy prices aren't high enough Let's raise them higher!
Comment from : Dom

People below drown
Comment from : Walter Shoults

It’s citizens owe money no the government owes money not us
Comment from : Big Bird explores

So the reason we are in a drought is because they want to make money making power So if we shut down the hydro power plant we won’t be in a drought anymore
Comment from : Big Bird explores

Americans We need dams, We are running out of water, We will have droughts, We need water for farming Also Americans Lets remove all the dams from our rivers
Comment from : Hebrew Hammer Arms Co

450 million to demolition four dams but a Salmon ladder was more expensive? Pacificorp claims the energy can easily be replaced? From where? Wasn't California suffering from rolling blackouts?
Comment from : Nicholas Espinoza

Oh dam
Comment from : Solomon Grundy

What happens when you remove a dam? The people in the area have less water to drink and less electricity use?
Comment from : Tim Jones

just for the record bluechip is IMHO just as scammy a bitcoin and associating with it lessens your belivability Still good video, just thought you should know
Comment from : Michael

All these dam removals are ironic in light of how these same governments are trying to push people off "fossil fuels" Apart from nuclear, water power is far and away more reliable than wind or solar; which they're pushing to be built and deployed in mass, consume tons of land and resources in the process
Comment from : americana83

Much of the sediment behind the damns are rich in nutrients good for planting and/or raising crops What if the sediment was "washed" of a good portion of the nutrients, and what sediment is left could be used as bedding for a number of animals? You would have "fertilizer" for crops, and bedding for farm animals What's left of the physical damn could be recycled for other projects In all, what was spent on taking out the damn could be made back through this technique

Dam!
Comment from : blb b2b

If California is serious about restoring a major Salmon and Steelhead trout river the Klamath is the only choice In addition removing the four dams there are two more major dams on a tributary Plus buying the Water Rights to the farmers upstream on the Klamath Basin Additionally excavating the sediment behind the four dams removed
Comment from : Robert Dawson

Most dams are on rivers with high sediment content This is a result of erosion caused by rapid water flow Sediment builds up behind dams, reducing the capacity of the reservoir until the dam is basically a waterfall This process can take many years, or just a few decades But it is very common Dams are harmful to fish that swim to the sea like salmon because they slow the flow of the river down drastically Young fish would be at the ocean in just days before the dams Now it takes weeks to swim that distance, and there is very little to eat along the way brThe next big engineering job might be to build a pipeline that captures flow from all major tributaries and sends it to the ocean quickly, so that hatchlings can be collected and put in the pipeline This would get them to the ocean in a short time, while avoiding the turbines at the dams The pipeline would only have flow during the spring months when the eggs are hatching Fish returning to spawn have less trouble getting upstream than before, because the lakes have covered many waterfalls
