Facts Behind the Hell’s Canyon Dam Debate
The FPC rejected a high dam on Hell’s Canyon near the Snake River after exhaustive hearings. The three low dams would yield 860 000 kilowatts at about 183 million dollars private funding, while the high dam costs 399 million and pays no taxes. Flood control navigation and recreation would be similar under both plans. The commission states the United States should not undertake this development.
