Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Generate Power for the Columbia River Basin
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the revocation of a previous presidential memorandum aimed at restoring fish populations in the Columbia River Basin. This action is intended to prioritize energy generation and lower living costs over environmental concerns, specifically opposing the breaching of four dams on the Lower Snake River, which would have reduced hydroelectric capacity. The memorandum instructs various federal departments to withdraw from a related legal agreement and halt the preparation of a supplemental environmental impact statement. These departments are also tasked with reporting back on actions taken under the previous memorandum and identifying steps to align with the current administration's policies.
