WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Fulcher released the following statement on the Inslee-Murray Report:
"The Inslee-Murray report on the Lower Snake River Dams relies heavily on divisive rhetoric – not substance – to paint a narrative that is overwhelmingly void of reality. As our country faces increasingly hostile foreign energy suppliers and our own Administration’s out-of-control inflation that threatens our domestic energy reliability, the importance of our dams and the power generation they provide has never been clearer.
I continue to hear from constituents and stakeholders in Idaho who are sounding the alarm about the catastrophic effects that dam removal would have on Idaho’s commercial and recreational industries. The Lower Four Snake River Dams provide immense value to Idahoans, our economy, and the Northwest as a whole. Pushing disastrous policies will only result in further harm to my constituents, something I cannot accept."
