This is a post on CNN.


How crazy it is that there are people out there who actually consider this fake news just because of the source - silly right, numbers don’t lie, including those numbers.

So when are they going to slow down generation to moderate the drop? Lose money now, or lose it later with even more drastic impact.

Outflows are less than 8,000 cfs whereas long term average for mid August are double that level. So, generation has slowed down. I’m sure it has been explained by our water experts whether the current releases are at or near minimum flow to support downstream requirements.
