Ep.11 Policies have consequences

Washington Policy Center's new Eastern Washington director, Sean O'Brien, joins Dam! to give us some insight into the world of Northwest energy policy at a state and national level. We explore Sean's prior roles, including his time working for Congressman Dan Newhouse (R-WA), making a return home to the Northwest, his experience with AgForestry, and what's happening at the legislative and judicial level right now that could impact hydropower. Additionally, he shares a fascinating untold story of the aftermath of the Murray-Inslee process and the demands placed on the folks who depend on the Columbia and Snake river system as a result of the extensive studying of dam removal.
