Trump's Dam Decision: Affordable Energy vs. Salmon
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited the Tri-Cities, emphasizing the administrations stance on affordable and reliable electricity provided by the Ice Harbor Dam. President Trump reversed a deal that could have led to the removal of these dams, citing the need for electricity. Critics argue that the dams produce less electricity during droughts and that the administrations focus on fossil fuels and nuclear energy contradicts its support for renewable sources. The administration aims for American energy dominance but has cut funding for electrical projects and reduced renewable energy subsidies, potentially costing Washington state billions in clean energy investment. Despite the administrations focus on affordable energy, electricity prices have risen since President Trump took office.
