Lake Powell needs Some Help!

We spent a week down there and the water is rising about 6 inches/day, so it came up 3 feet while we were there. That sounds like a lot, considering how big the lake is. But the lake level was only a few feet higher than this time last year after about a 60 foot gain over all of last spring/early summer. In other words, after a banner runoff year like 2005, the amount of water gained was barely enough to keep the lake from losing ground over the whole cycle. The outflow of the dam is obviously incorrectly defined. I know there are plenty of ignorant people who believe that we should just drain Lake Powell and return Glen canyon back to it's original beauty and grandure. I have yet to hear a compelling argument as to why that is a good idea. 1) The beauty and grandure that once were are gone, it would be a thousand years before the canyon looked like anything but a dried up lake carcass. 2) The humanities interests (indian ruins) are in fact ruined, there is no longer any human interest, or anything new we can learn from them that we have not already learned from the other ruins in the area. 3) Without the Lake and its accompanying dam, how would we control the floods and ebbs of the river? Didn't I just say that the entire lake was rising 6 inches per day!? Do you have any idea what that much water would look like in a river bed? We are talking about a broken Teton Dam every day for 3 months in a row, EVERY YEAR. 4) Without the flood controls of Glen Canyon dam, what would happen to Lake Havasu and Lake Mead? Do you think they would be able to handle the extra pressure? Not likely. 5) Without the storage of water during runoff and redistribution during the summer drought, where would all the communities and farms of the region which currently depend on this system get their water? 6) And the hydro-electric power? The environmentalist dope heads who are pressing for the draining of the lake, are the same daffy freakshows that block the construction of new power plants of ANY kind, coal plants pollute too much (and I actually agree with that), nuclear plants are...well, the waste problem (not nearly as serious as everyone thinks, compared to other waste problems), wind farms are too noisy, solar farms are too bright, bio-waste conversion plants are too stinky, squirrels in cages shed too much fur into the environment, and so on. Hydro-electric power is THE CLEANEST reliable POWER SOURCE we know of PERIOD, and they want to shut one down? Come on people, put down the joint and actually think it through, you know there is a reason they call it DOPE!
