That’s the beautiful part. There doesn’t need to be lore and backstory and all that other bullshit if all you want is a shooty game. Just…“demons on mars/ demons on earth now” for those that just want to move from set piece to set piece. For those that like exploring every nook and cranny there’s more.

I didn’t see it in the article, but what of the power these dams generated? Did they run lines from a farther city? Did these communities have a say?

I’m all for reducing impact on the environment and these dams were truly messing things up (water full of algae so deprived of oxygen it turns black?). This is one of those uncomfortable trades we’ve made across the world with hydro dams. They alter rivers, and make reservoirs. They destroy salmon routes and cause flooding above them when they’re not fast enough to drain. -But humans demand electricity. It’s become essential for homes and health, and now even transportation infrastructure is becoming reliant on it. It seems like these 4 dams couldn’t be producing much if the local people were able to demand them gone and Berkshire give in.

No, that’s usually a rural thing. And those are usually cropdusters manned by farmers who, while I may not agree with politically speaking (based on the 8500 flags per section of irrigation), are doing a very expensive component of their job. And even then it’s usually farmers with massive acrages that necessitated a plane over a Sprayer Tractor. They might do tricks and stuff when turning around but excessive trick flying about is how you wreck your plane.

Sure some wealthy people do have these private little planes/helicopters for recreational use. But they’re far from cheap and still must answer to the FAA during flight. They pay insurance by the hour when in flight, and lying/fudging numbers can cost your pilot licence. (Google says it can take about 6 months for your 20 hours of practice flight time you pay for, totalling approximately $10-20k)

If you have an issue with a pilot flying too low, call the local airport, Tower Control might just find out a new plane owner has not reported their flights.
