Yes, activists targeted four dams on the Snake River in Washington State.
They say the dams are driving, salmon extinct.
That’s just nonsense.
“All you have to do is to go and look at the actual population numbers to know that’s absurd,” explains Todd Myers of the Washington Policy Center.

“We keep doing dumb things,” says Myers. “It’s more about feeling good than environmental results.”
