Dams in the Pacific Northwest are generating lots of clean electricity, but critics say they are killing the region's vital salmon runs and endangering the local orcas.
How a dead whale gave new life to the debate over dams in the Pacific NorthwestBy Bill Weir and Rachel Clarke, CNNChat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.
On the Columbia River, Washington One image was clear -- a dead orca calf being carried across the ocean by its apparently grief-stricken mother. The calf may well have died from malnutrition. The Southern Resident Killer Whales in its pod are facing a critical shortage of their main food source: fat, juicy salmon.
The distressing scene repeated itself again and again over the course of more than two weeks in the summer of 2018 as the mother orca refused to let her baby go. But the bigger picture of how to help the whales get more salmon is far more complex and has opened new battles as well as old wounds. An orca mother pushes the remains of her dead calf in a journey of hundreds of miles last year.
