I always wanted to know how they did that. LOL
I'm not saying it's hot in my office, but two Hobbits just opened the door and threw a ring in here...
Time to move, I'd say.
John Malkovich isn't in that Gif: that's George Clooney shooting Brad Pitt.

But thanks for the memories. :awe:

Huh? No likey nuclear or coal, the dam's already built, yet they're getting rid of it?
There's two computers in the gif, try the one labeled "My Computer".One of us is blind. :\
The dam was old, and without a fish ladder. They decided to blow the damn rather than build a fish ladder. Both had the effect of restoring the stream to something a bit more natural. WA has an abundance of wind and water power that a couple dams don't have much of an effect.
Pretty much. There is a major push here in the PNW to remove dams that are not needed to help restore Salmon and Steelhead runs. The Condit and Elwha dams have both been breached to restore the native river. The major power sources for Washington are located on the Columbia river and have an over abundance of power. They sell power to the entire state as well as many western states including California. The PUD's are having to pay the wind turbine companies to not run their turbines since there is such an over abundance of power available from the dams. Dams are one of the major contributing factors to the decline in anadromous fish species in the PNW, it's good to see action being taken.

Incredible. In a few years that soil will be overgrown with grass and plants, and trees will start to grow. Nobody would ever know there was a human made dam there once.
