And I Thought It Was The Tuna Nets?

Okay, different waters and a different dolphin, but I still blame the Left. I'm adopting a new policy to combat the Blame America First types. It's called Blame the Anti-American Left First! And they have dolphin blood on their hands.

It's always the renewable energy that gets you in end. The only plus is that, what with global warming, the suckers would have been fish sticks eventually, anyway.

Okay, they're mammals, but still. Hopefully they still survive somewhere where the Left can't find them. They'd be better off.

All this goes back to the Canadians using bottom nets in the territories they claim, but the US won't acknowledge, and the US has decided to build four new ice breakers(wow, look at all the problems). This is why the global warming all the fish are going to die thing started. It's not that Canada sent all those goeologist CSIS agents to not find gold and oil near the passages and the RCMP, which has a rich history in graves there, goes there every year to honor those RCMPS. Even Bill Graham went there to claim the CSIS territories and, yes, I believe there were those natives there before anybody else....................

It's not blame America first, it's don't blame Canada.

Whatever. Anything that keeps you from blaming the Riehl stupid is most likely all you'll ever entertain.

Isn't that right, dumbo?

The depth of irony here, it's almost too much! I never would have expected it...heh

Someone got a shiny new random incoherence generator for Christmas I see.

No, the funny thing about this story is that lefty environmentalists were the ones complaining most loudly about the environmental consequences of Three Gorges Dam, and that certain conservative bloggers somehow missed years of news coverage citing these environmentalists' concerns but noticed the first thing that jumped out as "ironic".

Newsflash! Hydropower generated by large dams (as opposed to millwheels, in-line turbines, and other low-impact methods) isn't considered "renewable".

Back to your regularly scheduled stupidity.

DocAmazing, could you please explain why hydropower generated by large dams isn't renewable? Or post a reference describing the same?

I have been under the impression that hydropower was renewable, or at least more sustainable than petro-power.

I could understand the ecological risks presented by creating a huge body of water (resulting from the dam) which could destabilize local wetlands and such, but I am interested in learning more about the impact of the dam downstream as well.

I am inclined to think that the risk/reward factor for investing in hydropower offsets developing more oil economy infrastructure.
