I'd rather they invested a bit of the hydro money into tidal power, in-river hydro (no damned dams), wave power, and more wind power.  Those projects are much cheaper, and quicker to get going.  Instead of one massive project in one spot (that takes a long time to complete), get a series of smaller projects going around south central Alaska that do not conflict with fish or other resources, and get them producing some power and revenue.  We can slowly increase projects one after another till we make more power than that stupid dam project over would.

As for the bridge, I am glad it is gone.  We don't need any damned tolls in this state.  This state is about freedom, and freedom of movement (not to mention productivity).  Tolls restrict people's movement, put a drain on people, and reduce productivity.  Let us not put a anchor chain around our people's necks that slow us down and hold us back.  Let other states be the stupid ones.  Good riddance for that project I say.  Let's stay free
