I certainly understand these peoples' concerns, which are possible damage to the worlds' largest salmon run. I do find it difficult to believe any company would invest hundreds of millions of dollars into a project they feel or know would damage the fishery. They would be hung by the nearest lamp post if there was ever a catastrophe, so being one that believes in properly engineered designs and construction, I find it extremely difficult to believe there is one iota of a chance for the salmon run to be damaged by this project. With all the regulatory agencies reviewing this with their extremely fine-toothed comb, and requiring proper design, I for one cannot see why a company would design a project it knows may physically fail - the company would fold up, and no business person I know ever wants that. I am surprised they scheduled the meeting for this Monday also. I am also surprised the Bristol Bay people don't want any representation.
