Nearly half of the hydropower electricity in the U.S. comes from more than 250 hydropower dams that were built on the #ColumbiaRiver and its tributaries. Google taps the river’s energy to power a data center in Oregon. Farmers in Washington State pump irrigation water into alfalfa fields — with both the water and the electricity supplied by a dam. Seattle’s Space Needle uses Columbia River electricity to slowly spin tourists in its sky-view restaurant. But now, the Trump administration has proposed selling off portions of this vast system. The idea is part of a package of proposals that would turn much of America’s infrastructure into a mixture of public and private partnerships. Along this great river of the West, privatization would transform a government service that requires equal standards across a vast territory into a private operation seeking maximum returns to investors. In June, our journalists Kirk Johnson and @nytchangster traveled down the river, bunking with a 5-man tug crew over 30 hours as workers transited through 4 dams and locks.
