Although it is terrible that the tragedy in MN had to happen, it's refreshing to hear that Gov. Kulongoski is going forward with suggestions from the Oregon Concrete and Aggregate industries. The concrete and cement people have been yelling about the importance of these inspections and maintenance of bridges for years.

We need all the hydro power we can get. It's non-polluting and doesn't result in any global warming increase. If needed, rebuild the dams to be as fish friendly as possible but don't cut the flow of juice. Our nation's increasing demand for electricity means we need to keep in place all the hydro we can, otherwise we'll have to build even more polluting power stations or deal with even more nuclear waste that no state wants as we head toward building more nuclear plants.
Sometimes choosing what is needed isn't easy but aquaculture can breed a lot more fish to make up for Klamath salmon runs being down much easier than we can build more power plants.
