I don't diagree. But how about this for outside the box?

The "green" we are missing is revenue. The fluctuating and inconsistant lake levels are costing the area money. Big fishing tournaments are passing us up for lakes with more predictable levels. Recreational boaters are passing us up for lakes with more water. The marinas are losing fuel sales. The area restaurants are losing business. The rental housing are missing customers because people can't count on the lake being full.

Someone mentioned earlier that we need to get the elected officials involved. They are the ones that would be most concerned about tax revenues.

And heres another green idea for you. If they would hold the lake level up longer and bring it up sooner. They could use that water to generate electricity in the warmer months thereby, reducing the greenhouse gasses from the coal fired plant downstream. More hydro, less coal.

I've got more but this whole thing gets my blood pressure up. Gimme a few.
