I heard on the news today that Obama wants to make it easier to build new dams. From a climate change perspective, that may make sense, but I wonder how it fits in with the destruction of existing dams, which I though was trending. Or are only old dams destroyed that don't serve a real purpose anymore?

If the river has some nice rapids and that it attracts a lot of tourists then they should never build an dam there

Source: some national radio station in Switzerland, last month. Can't remember which one, but I only listen to 'serious' national news stations :)
If you're happy, you're successful.
