This report outlines what Central Washington has known all along: there is no reasonable replacement for the Lower Snake River Dams. The fact of the matter is, even if they were able to replace the 66% of the state’s energy which is currently provided by the clean, renewable, and affordable hydroelectric dams, the loss of the dams would still devastate our communities: prices would rise, crops would perish, jobs would be eliminated, and the environment would be threatened. Not to mention, we have the science to prove these dams are not threatening our salmon population—a population that is already seeing record levels of recovery with the dams in place. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
