Nothing capitalistic about the U.S. government building dams.
I would have loved to have seen/rafted the Colorado and the Grand Canyon before they mucked it up.

The San Joaquin isn't dry because of the dams. It's dry because the farms divert all the water away. While that isn't an example of free-market capitalism, it is capitalism at work. Damage to nature will occur regardless of economic system.

The Colorado very very rarely even reaches the Gulf of California anymore. The delta has been reduced to something like 5% of its original extent. Sad.
