This is pretty much all you'll find on this nonsense unless you dig back a couple of few years.


SACRAMENTO, CALIF.
Officials from Oregon, California and the Obama administration are scheduled to sign a pact Wednesday agreeing to seek permission to tear down four hydroelectric dams that are blamed for killing fish and blocking their migration.

They will also agree to protect farmers and ranchers from rising power and water prices as they work on a broader pact to bring peace to long-running water wars in the Klamath River basin, which straddles the Oregon-California border.

The landmark agreement revives a dormant, six-year-old settlement process that Congress failed to approve last year. In addition to removing dams, that original settlement would have restored tribal lands and provided more water for farmers and ranchers.

By removing the dams without congressional approval, and providing price assurances to farmers in exchange, the advocates hope to make the larger deal more palatable for Congress.

"Now we're regrouping, trying to figure out what's our path to solve those problems," said Tricia Hill, treasurer of the Klamath Water Users Association, which advocates for farmers and ranchers. "We've got rural communities that rely on the water for jobs ... and that hasn't changed."

The latest deal is spelled out in two agreements. One or both of them will be signed by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, California Gov. Jerry Brown, high-ranking federal officials, tribal leaders, conservation groups, large-scale water users and dam-owner PacifiCorp.

So like always the farmers and ranchers will not have there power and water rising in prices.  But the city dwellers will pick up the tab.  There Water, power and food will go up.  Will the Tribal leaders make everyone go back to the old way of fishing...      I am old enough to remember how it was done on the Columbia River.

Yep, they scammed everyone not involved and bribed everyone with something to lose.
And for what?
These idiot Marxists only know how to destroy. Here Ca just exited a nasty drought, and what do leftists do? They destroy more water storage for fish?

Solar, do they have to hide the women and children in Sacto when the legislature is in session? Are they hell bent on destroying a beautiful state?

They just keep them in the basement slaving away in the paper mill of bureaucracy.
I remember when the State took a left turn off the cliff back in the early 70s, not only did it not recover, it locked the doors and no one is allowed to question these commies.
