Odd the article doesn't mention the NorthWest Power Planning & Conservation Council, with its members apponted from OR-WA-ID-MT which is supposed to provide oversight and guide the restoration efforts funded by BPA.

25 years after it was created, I share the opinion that NWPPC been wholly captured by Hydro industry interests and is burning scarce money on study after study, to sit on the shelf gathering dust, alongside all the previously DONE studies. All of it a diversion from the reality that the upper Columbia stocks cannot recover while the four Lower Snake River Dams are in place.

As somebody else says, it's been an exercize in burying the Salmon in paper.

I'll be the last to give up on Salmon. However, it is time to audit the NW Power Planning Council and its expenditures. Show the cost versus benefit and put it all into the context of what WOULD be gained by removing the four Lower Snake River Dams.
