Upstream fish passage requires an extra installation of a fish ladder\/ passage. To \u201crequire\u201d upstream fish passage installation or otherwise deny installation of micro waterpower is counterproductive.<\/p><p>We\u2019d love to install upstream fish passage wherever it\u2019s required. Who wouldn\u2019t. But hey, this is the real world, and sometimes we just can\u2019t afford to do it. Yet, some people think because we make money selling power and that we\u2019re a business, that we should be forced to install and bear the cost of upstream fish passage if we want to install a micro waterpower installation. Well hey, I guess those in charge and the public in general can require and demand whatever they want. But if it doesn\u2019t make sense economically, it doesn\u2019t make sense economically, and neither the upstream fish passage or the renewable energy project won\u2019t happen. This strikes as just plain odd thinking: To deny a renewable energy project at an existing dam site because we can\u2019t afford upstream fish passage is strangely bizarre thinking since both benefit the environment and therefore society in general. It\u2019s sort of like saying \u201cI\u2019m not going to accept a your offer of a free car, if you don\u2019t give me a carribean vacation also\u201d. Hey, but who said people were rationale and that the world made sense\u2026\u2026.the next thing you know we\u2019ll be forcing those groups that want to install fish ladders\/passages to install renewable energy systems at the same time, or not let them install those fish passages!<\/p><p>At some point it should be recognized that while we may make money for our project owners, it is the public in general that is the beneficiary of the cleaner air, and the contributing effect of trying to reduce global climate change that comes from our installations. And you get it for free!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our installations allow downstream fish passage and is proven safe.
