Unfortunately, the Columbia River Basin is blocked at several points before it ever gets to Oregon. At least one of the dams blocking the river is one that provides power to Oregon.

>They do, but over the last 50 years, we've developed vastly better dams and systems to help offset their effects.
We have the technology, sure, but that doesn't mean that old dams were retrofitted, nor does it mean that the new technology was installed properly. For instance, at least one dam I know of has a salmon ladder that's easily 100' above the water line.

The people whose homes were destroyed don't need to sue the venue because their insurance is holding this woman accountable for the damages. She is suing to try to get the payments she owes to them covered by someone else.
