There is no other country in the world that would spend billions of dollars that have been invested in the improvement of these dams which would provide affordable, reliable electricity, irrigation for productive farm ground, feeding millions, flood control to protect local communities, locks for the transportation of products that we export around the world, and, yes, fish passage both upstream and downstream to protect fisheries, and then even have a conversation or consider destroying all of that.

American infrastructure is the foundation of our economy—helping businesses move products, getting workers to the job, and ensuring families make it home to their loved ones each night.

That's going to save an average driver more than $8,000 at the pump over the life of a new car.
