Stop the Power Grab by Hydropower Companies

Stop the Power Grab by Hydropower Companies

Under the guise of “modernizing” hydropower, this bill actually takes hydropower dam operations back decades. It creates a giant loophole for hydropower dam operators, so they are not required to protect fish, wildlife, or water quality.

And the costs for cleaning up their mess? That would get passed on to taxpayers, like you.

The hydropower industry wants to be seen as clean and sustainable. But hydropower is the only renewable energy that drives species toward extinction. And this legislation could result in many more dried up rivers, dead fish and wildlife, and destroyed recreational opportunities.

Don’t let the hydropower industry take us backwards in time. Tell Congress to oppose this power grab by the energy companies.
