We're hard at work finally, putting the new site look up, and making sure all the content is fresh and newly updated. Please bear with us over the next week or two if you find something missing or a broken link or two. We are working hard to get caught up so if something doesn't work right today, please check back tomorrow!
If you're looking around for a few of the sections we had before, I'm sorry to say that some of them are just plain gone. I decided it was time to narrow the focus of the site a bit to make sure we can really do a good job of covering the things we kept around. We were getting a little thin before, trying to offer something for everyone. We've got a new sitemap here though, so you can see all the sections.
Lake Powell - Glen Canyon Dam
Initially brought forward by the Sierra Club, the movement to Drain Lake Powell and decommission the Glen Canyon Dam is still promoted by the Living Rivers organization.
Flaming Gorge - Flaming Gorge Dam
The movement to restore the entire Colorado River drainage that is promoted by the Glen Canyon Action Network and others would also include decommissioning the Flaming Gorge dam. These groups maintain that the flood control, irrigation and power generation benefits of these man made dams are no longer issues, and that we should simply breach these dams and return the Colorado and Green Rivers to their natural wild state. Given the state of the current power generation facilities of the Western United States (in this summer or routine rolling blackouts across California) we wonder how anyone can say we don't need clean, efficient Hydro-Electric power generation.
