The Removal of Savage Rapids Dam

[dudkhalia]

There are lots of way to produce renewable energy, from wind, solar, hydrogen and hydrokinetic... dams are absolete, dangerous and only creates damages and corruption, but no jobs!

No Dam = Less Jobs! :-(

I don't understand removing this dam or the Gold Hill dam so close to the Lost Creek dam. Are we going to remove Lost Creek dam, too? Now instead of gravity flow irrigation you have to use electricity to pump water and the pumps are already having problems with silt. Wait until we get another 1964 type flood, people will be clamoring for more dams. Same thing goes for the Klamath River. Folks have a very short memory about how much rain/snow can fall in Southern Oregon in a short time.

@rockinpiano1 at 1:11 it states that this damn dam doesnt control water levels cant store water cant slow flood waters the only purpose it was constructed was for irrigations thus the removal f this dam doesnt change a single thing other then greater access to habitat and more natrual flow patterns
