During the Clinton administration someone decided it was unfair ranchers got to graze all their methane belching cows on BLM land for cheap. So they yanked the cows and the grass grew long and in the fall created a fire hazard that burned most of Montana down. Cows are evil... earthsave.org RIP deluded PHD my.umbc.edu

That nice piece of hate propaganda doesn't outline the measures that were taken by the environmental preservation efforts (if any) and how the 6 dams were impeded from flood controlling. If you read up on events, you'll see that the USACE had to release water from the 6 existing dams (else the reservoirs would be OVERWHELMED). The fact of the matter is that no amount of flood controlling would handle the unprecedented runoff and rains. So, that piece is a piece of stinky shit from AmericanStinker.com. sacbee.com

What if the greens in the Corps of Engineers look on the chance to flood a nuclear plant as an OPPORTUNITY? The Fort Calhoun nuclear power station in Fort Calhoun, Neb., currently shut down for refueling, is surrounded by flood waters from the Missouri River, Tuesday, June 14, 2011. On Tuesday, the releases at Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota hit the maximum planned amount of 150,000 cubic feet of water per second, which are expected to raise the Missouri River 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in most of Nebraska and Iowa.
