This post discusses claims by promoters of the Klamath Deals that
there are only two options - relicensing the dams and powerhouses with
expenses new requirements or removing them via federal legislation to
authorize and fund the KHSA Dam Deal and the KBRA Water Deal.

KlamBlog points out that there is a third option and tells why that is
the cheapest and best option for taxpayers and electric customers. It
also explains the real reason the dams will come down and how
promoters of the Deals are misrepresenting not only the options but
also the impact of these Deals on the Endangered Species Act.

The entry ends with a section titled "Serving the 1%" which unmasks
the KHSA and KBRA as special interest deals for the politically well
connected:

"There is a word for sweetheart deals where taxpayers pick
up the tab; “subsidy” is that word. PacifiCorp and the Klamath’s
“Irrigation Elite” want another subsidy … it’s the 1% way! The rest of
the show is just noise and distraction."
