Nevada legislature takes serious look at tearing down Lake Powell’s Glen Canyon Dam (June 3. 2017)

"In no uncertain terms, the Glen Canyon Dam is one of the most environmentally destructive projects in our nation's history," said Eric Belken, executive director of the Institute. 

Belken cited harms to native species, destruction of a unique natural and cultural landscape, and the disruption of the natural cycle of erosion and replenishment of soil downstream in the Grand Canyon.

The Largest Dam in The World

Spending a lot of time as a kid at Grand Coulee Dam, I've always been fascinated by Three Gorges Dam in China.  This is long, and I haven't even watched the whole thing yet, but interesting.

Cool aerial video of Steamboat Rock & Grand Coulee

Some neat video shot over some of my old stomping grounds…
