Snake River Spotlight: President Trump rolls back Biden-era agreement on river dams

The future of the Snake River Dams is back in the spotlight, with a new debate over water, energy, and how the region moves goods.

President Trump is rolling back a Biden-era agreement that supported plans to consider breaking four dams. This means that operations will stay as they are, keeping water flowing to farms, power on the grid, and barges moving.

The Northwest Public Power Association called it a “necessary course correction,” stating that the previous plan left our rural communities and threatened to harm farmers and utility customers.
