no, i didnt mean that at all...i really wish our environment could be preserved but i dont see that happening. its not a matter of Tacoma and the WDOE trying to screw the fishermen, its all about providing power for a population that is growing larger all the time. that is a need that has to be filled one way or another. the sad thing is that most people dont think about where the power is supplied from as long as its not from their backyard...the tacoma area has a population of around 200,000...thats alot to consider when balancing the wants and needs of everyone in this state. remember what happened this past summer with the energy crisis in California, i dont think salmon and steelhead would have any chance at all if things got that bad up here...but i hope it never comes to that.
