Here in the Seattle area the Howard Hanson Dam is big news. For an event that has not happened yet it is getting lots of coverage on TV and in the newspapers.
The Seattle Times had a nice summary of how we got to where we are today with the Howard Hanson Dam. I do take issue with the last quote in the article, "You can engineer anything. As an engineer, that's the way we think. This no problem too big."
My point is that controlling nature is difficult to do. We can do it in some circumstances for limited periods of time, but...nature is much more powerful and creative than man. Engineer that!
