We have control of the Snake River. Do we really want to give that up? There are four dams now that not only provide needed transportation but electricity and also very important, river control.
We are under flood watch right now but thank goodness not from the Snake or Columbia rivers. For us older persons the Vanport flood was uncontrollable and a very scary event that none of us wants to ever see again. With the dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers we have been able to bring that kind event to an end. The four dams on the Columbia downstream from the Snake might not be able to stop us from flooding. Who is willing to take a chance on that?
