I didn’t see it in the article, but what of the power these dams generated? Did they run lines from a farther city? Did these communities have a say?
I’m all for reducing impact on the environment and these dams were truly messing things up (water full of algae so deprived of oxygen it turns black?). This is one of those uncomfortable trades we’ve made across the world with hydro dams. They alter rivers, and make reservoirs. They destroy salmon routes and cause flooding above them when they’re not fast enough to drain. -But humans demand electricity. It’s become essential for homes and health, and now even transportation infrastructure is becoming reliant on it. It seems like these 4 dams couldn’t be producing much if the local people were able to demand them gone and Berkshire give in.
That’s the beautiful part. There doesn’t need to be lore and backstory and all that other bullshit if all you want is a shooty game. Just…“demons on mars/ demons on earth now” for those that just want to move from set piece to set piece. For those that like exploring every nook and cranny there’s more.
