⦁ Great story by Kirk Johnson. http://nyti.ms/2u5E2hX Down the Mighty Columbia River, Where a Power Struggle Looms: The Trump administration has proposed selling off portions of a vast system that produces nearly half of the nation’s hydropower electricity. The country’s largest network of energy-producing dams created through five decades of 20th-century ambition, investment and hubris. Nearly half of the nation’s hydropower electricity comes from more than 250 hydropower dams that were built on the Columbia and its tributaries — a vast and complex arc of industry and technology that touches tens of millions of lives across the West every day.
