Saving The Planet™

What happens when the EPA orders you to take out a century-old dam? Why, not only does the lake go away, but hundreds of tons of silt are swept downstream - and hundreds of tons more erode from the former shoreline. It's all good; they're Protecting The Environment™.

Redistribution is so amazing. It even works on dirt.

This is the story. Break the dam, loose a hundred years of silt build-up and send the flotsam downstream into the Columbia.
The word "Duh!", comes to mind.

There are links to an article, though I used two sources at the time.

As Inno noted, redistribution even works on dirt.

And after another hundred years or so, most of the crap will have been flushed into the ocean. That counts as "green" in any bureaucrat's book.
