@a2dpo LOL! Well, I hate dams. Glenn Canyon Dam I hate the worse. Edward Abbey had Seldom Seen Smith walk out on that dam, kneel down, and pray for a precision earthquake to remove that horrible ecological disaster, prompting the park service's security to come over and tell him that there shall be no praying to god on the dam. LOL.

Fish ladders are not the same as a free flowing river from the standpoint of a migrating fish. The dam also had negative effects on the flow regime and the temperature of the water. Improvement and recertification of the dam would've cost more than the power generation was worth. It was an out-of-date structure. It was a good PR decision for PGE, but it was also a good environmental and financial decision. Fish ladders, indeed! It's like saying a rope is as easy to climb as a set of stairs

That might be accurate regarding the salmon, but it's best not to get too laser-focused on a species. It's not just commercially-valuable, popular animals that move up and down a river. The fish ladders I've seen do nothing for the thousands of other vertebrate and invertebrate species. Throw in the sediment trapping and the pH/oxygen alterations, and a broader, scientifically-informed view will show that the dam removal probably will probably yield hundreds long-term benefits.
