All four of these dams were end of life and would have required billions of dollars in upgrades to produce commercial power. It was cheaper to import power from other sources. A small portion of the Klamath River flow was diverted to another basin for farming.
Not true. The dams were in their middle age and were just fine generating electricity, and the power company was fighting against the idea of dam removal before it finally surrendered. What was deemed expensive was if the power company had to comply with the regulatory requirement for fish passage during its license renewal process.
So if I had a few houses or a factory or two running on the dams’ hydroelectric output, what happens to my house lights and factories’ lights and machinery when my source of electricity from the dams suddenly ends? How is it replaced?
Helps the UN destroy the US. We see this a lot not just here in the US but in Europe, Australia, New Zealand. Remember they need flooding and starvation to make dictatorships the rule not the exception.
You mispronounced Klamath! The fact that the dam went in in the first place poisoned the river changing the ecology. Taking the dam out was a loss to people who needed the power supply. This has been a blow to local economies. It doesn’t help the local Indian tribes tradition or not.
Yeah, I generally consider that when I hear a video narrator repeatedly mispronounce a word, that they either didn't research the material for the documentary as well as they should have, or they passed the text they generated through an AI narrator, and didn't bother to review the result. As feedback to the narrator of this video, if you want to redo the narration, both times the letter 'a' in Klamath appear in the word, they are pronounced with a soft 'a' as you are doing correctly with the second 'a'. An 'Ah' sound rather than an 'Aye' or 'Ate' sound. From the general accent you have in the video, I'm presuming that you're not a US native, and I wouldn't expect that travel to the region to learn the local pronunciation is worth the expense for this video, It might be worth setting up a zoom call with people from the region to review pronunciation, especially of words that are specific to the region, and critical to the video. Setting up such a meeting is perhaps one of the uses of the Community page for your channel. This can also help with engagement over all as you would then have a collection of people who may be encouraged to reach out to neighbors, friends and family both locally and across the community. If on the other hand, this is AI generated Narration, and not just AI generated text, I wouldn't expect improvement. As it is, I'm uncertain whether this interaction is of any value other than boosting your ranking in the algorithm.
@@mrreziik It's well-known that the algorithm favors videos of that length. If the algorithm doesn't suggest a video, pretty much no one will click on a video.
So with no electricity I will have to sit under trees I grow for shade to stay cool and eat , meanwhile I will have to cut fallen sticks and cut trees to keep warm during winter. I also will have to gather millions of fish to eat and fish we don’t eat will be scattered throughout the forest as fertilizer by wildlife.
By removing the man made dams. You allow the beavers to move in and make their own dams which create wetlands around the river. Which helps a lot with flooding naturally. If we let it happen nature will fix itself. Mankind just has to move out of the way.
That won't happen. People will complain about the beaver, will think the beaver dams will cause flooding of their fields, and will kill them. Just like what happened to wolves in Yellowstone. Removing the dams will prove to be a big mistake, as it's almost impossible to build a dam in the U.S. anymore. Should have just built the fish ladders.
It’s called properly teaching the public the real truth. But for that people have to stop voting for different sides of the same coin. The public school system is the biggest joke in America
Whenever I hear someone say "fossil fuels", I cringe and think that here is someone who does not do research. Petroleum products are not based solely on eon old algae blooms. True and actual sources are debated but include deep methane concentrations. See Abiogenic Petroleum. Volumes of recoverable pertroleum are likely orders of magnitude greater than estimated today. BTW, farmed algae fed with carbon dioxide is proven and can be a model for scale sized active petroleum refineries. Carbon nuetral at that. Algae is something like 40% lipids by weight. Lipids are the building blocks of petroleum. Eons not needed. Quote: Growing one ton of algae can capture nearly two tons of carbon dioxide, while using this biomass to make products or biofuels can also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
After they started blowing the dams they kicked up mud and killed all the salmon and deer and rabbits and ... great job! Now the tribes are regretting it.
Klamath is pronounced CLAM-MYTH not Clay-Myth In reference to Native Americans, they claim everything is "sacred land", which is their way of trying to prevent American progress. They claim left and right, sacred land, burial grounds, etc. so much that I no longer think or believe anything a Native American says or does is true. Its like crying wolf. If everything is sacred, then how are your people still alive? When I hear "Sacred" I hear, "This is valuable land that we haven't found a way to profit from like you have, we are envious thus we will claim anything, even unverifyable claims, to prevent you from it" - Which says to me, "Build on it for the common good of us all, no more special interest religious exceptions for progress"
Thank you - I was about to say the same😢. I had many close blood relatives in the Pacific NW starting with my Dad’s brother in Renton WA, with a large family so probably still around there. One of his sons lived in Klamath Falls, OR.
The owners said it was cheaper to remove then fix. There's other forms of power generation that are cheaper so why invest in fixing these busted up old dam that may cause flood if they break.
What is green energy? No man-made energy is green or renewable. If someone says that, then it is a lie and propaganda. Wind and solar energy are built from derivatives from oil and can only produce electricity 30% of the time, while hydropower can produce 100% of the time. I come from Norway and my country gets almost 100% of its electricity from hydropower. Then Norwegian authorities started the development of wind power, built export cables to central European countries such as the UK, Denmark and Germany. This 10 doubled Norwegian electricity prices and pressured Norwegian citizens and consumers to accept more development of wind power in Norwegian nature and violations of human rights. Very unpopular.
@@richardjohnson455 well, they have a massive negative impact on the whole environment, which I don't think should be considered green. Also, the first few years of an artificial reservoir, they produce massive amounts of CO2 and methane, and they continue to do so consistently after that, but less than initially. But I mainly mean their impact on the overall circulatory systems of the Earth and its fauna and nutrient and sediment transfer...and the fact that they often warm the water and make it toxic. I know it isn't technically non-green as in burning fossil fuels...except the years of fleets of massive machinery and fossil fuels needed to construct and destruct, and the massive release of greenhouses gases needed with that much cement. Concrete is a major producer of gasses, and it uses sand that is taken from rivers where its needed. But in the beginning phases, the forest is stripped away, and all of that organic material and soil begins to decompose and let off the most gases in the first few years. Then, since there is not longer a forest there to act as a carbon sink, the system is at a net loss of carbon to the atmosphere. Man-made dams are pretty terrible. I know that many are important for water and flood management, but many need to come down. Up til about 2010, the US averaged 1 new dam per day since 1776. This is all different from beaver dam though. They are absolutely stupendous for the whole environment. Beavers would solve most of our problems. Water held back in floods, saved for drought, ground water, aquifer recharge, water filtration, sediment, heavy metals sequestration, connection back to the floodplain to decrease flow velocity and erosion, flourishing riparian zone (which sequesters carbon), fish population increase like 20x or something crazy, fire break, fire refuse for wildlife (wildfires are very important in N. America, and we need them). I could ramble on forever. I'm kinda autistic, and beavers and dam removal, and stream restoration is a huge hyperfixation of mine. North America is lacking 200-400 million beavers from Central Mexico to the Artcic Circle....and it shows. They engineered this whole continent, and their eradication to make fucking hats really shows. America is supposed to have hundreds of thousand of mini, leaky dams up in all tributaries and in the mountains, protecting us from floods, charging our aquifer, (so drilling a well would be easier and reliable), and slowly releasing that water later in the years when it dry. Even when they flood a section of forest, it's good, because it creates standing deadwood, which becomes a huge sanctuary/nursery for birds and their food source, standing dead wood is very important, as well as mother logs laying on the forest flood, as well as large wood debris in the river. All are very beneficial, and we should get away from this colonial mindset of "cleaning up the stream" and especially channelizing and straightened the streams...they all need more complexity, length, bends, braids, and expanded floodplains, decreased slope and erosive velocity, with more large woody debris. Anyways, that concludes my ramble. The beaver will save us all if we let them. And yes, target trees can be protected, water levels can be regulated with a culvert, very simple.
Not for nothing, but the Hoover dam is the largest dam ever. Also, if you didn’t know Pacific core, and all these hydroelectric dams were put in by Warren Buffett, who made billions on them even though he knew it was fucking over all the Native American tribes with the salmon run, which is decimated the water runs all the way running down to California.

We would rather blow our money in Ukraine than here at home anyway.
Imagine the day they remove the mighty Grand Coulee Dam💪on the awesome Columbia River in Washington State 🤘🏴☠️
The British a.i. voice or reader mispronounced the river's name repeatedly. It's pronounced clammuth, not claymuth. Poor research skills.
So if I had a few houses or a factory or two running on the dams’ hydroelectric output, what happens to my house lights and factories’ lights and machinery when my source of electricity from the dams suddenly ends? How is it replaced?
Then, you don't understand the electricity network.
Madness is the only way to describe the American experience.
Can you do a video on solar panels and how they are made and why they're not quite green as we think?
I would think the Hoover dam was the largest?
I thought so too but maybe my knowledge is not advanced enough idk
Clickbait, it is not the largest. The largest is the Oroville dam In California. The second largest is the Hoover dam.
They said the largest dam removal, not the largest dam built.
Just bad wording - he meant the largest dam to have been removed
@@acuritis I get it . the "biggest, best etc." is used often, and there's always something bigger LOL.

Eliminate dams so the water can rush to the oceans faster, raising sea levels, so we can flood coastal cities.

Going to get rid of clean electric because a few fish and Indians were annoyed?
And the government pushing EV's. BRILLIANT!!!!
Clean for humans and dirty for fish.

They don't care about the Indians this is an excuse and the fish are also innocent. Once they are gone they are gone. Stealing from mother nature.
Tell us what is cheaper,its definately not wibd or solar ,they are a total scam and not basepower electricity
