Did we just blow up a dam for no reason?

Emmy Award journalist, John Stossell, released a video detailing the bad science behind dam removal.  This is important because Oregon and California recently were part of the largest dam removal project in United States history when they closed four dams in the region.  One of those hydro-dams demolished helped power nearly 100,000 homes in Oregon.

Here is a great quote from the video: “They raise money by scaring people.  Even when their fearmongering is totally wrong. In 1999, environmental groups took out this ad saying, “Salmon will be extinct by 2017.” And yet, 2015, 2016, 2017, populations were higher than in 1999.  Did the environmentalists apologize?   No, they repeat almost the exact same arguments today.  They just changed the dates.  We invited 10 activist groups that want to destroy the dams to come here and defend their claims about salmon going extinct.  Not one would agree.   And I guess I understand why. Because they’ve already convinced the public. “
