Jeff, I doubt you've ever read the report to the Interior Secretary.  I have. The cost was estimated at $500 million.  If we'd built the project in 1960 the bonds would have been paid off around 1995, and we'd have electricity from the hydro project for less than  8 cents per KWH.  We also not have suffered the hidden cost of coal where the damages to human health and the environment have been considerable.  What is one human life worth?  Multiply that times the number of people killed by cancer, due to coal combustion.
