From the episode description:

Under Threat: Farmers Fight Back Against PG&E and Newsom’s Dam Removal Plan

The fight to save California’s Potter Valley Project is more than a local issue—it’s a battle for water, farmland, and the survival of rural communities.

In this investigative report, Yanasa TV sits down with Dr. Rich Brazil, a large animal veterinarian and ranch management consultant from Potter Valley, to uncover the truth behind PG&E’s push to decommission the century-old project.

The removal of Scott Dam and Lake Pillsbury would:

• Cut off irrigation water to farms, ranches, and vineyards in Northern California.

• Leave more than 600,000 people downstream facing water shortages.

• Eliminate the region’s primary wildfire suppression reservoir in a state already plagued by megafires.

• Decimate wildlife populations, including the Tule elk herd managed at Lake Pillsbury for over 50 years.

So why push forward? Critics argue it’s not about fish or safety—it’s about politics, optics, and control over land and water in California.
