I have experienced the Flint River first hand. If you have not, then you should consider not forming an opinion until you have. There currently is recreation on the river, parks and outfitters, etc. They say "the dams could help guarantee water for Georgia for decades to come." However it would destroy the river as it exists today. By now we should all know that there are no guarantees (especially from politicians)! There are however other ways to address the problem of diminishing natural resources and the drain major metropolitan areas have on the environment. For the past thirty years we have survived without the dams, I bet we can survive another 30 without them.
