Why should taxpayers fund both defendants and plaintiffs?

Every dam must be considered on its own merits.

That is not cost-effective.

There is a bill that would cost-effectively deal with and help develop more hydropower.

We have to find more water resources because irrigation increases crop yields tenfold.

They lost because the people of the Pacific Northwest know that removal of these dams would be an extreme action that would cost jobs.

Just for the record, we in California are neutral on the Idaho-Washington potato rivalry.

But over the last few decades, a radical and retrograde ideology has seized our public policy.

The bill would block imposition of the 'Chu Memo', ordered by the Secretary of Energy, that could force power rate increases.

Thank you especially for introducing H.R. 6247 and for holding this hearing to examine and expose the continuing drive of the environmental left to destroy our Nation's system of dams.

I think this individual as well thinks that this was all very carefully coordinated.
