 <http://topics.sacbee.com/Northern+California/> Northern California's Hoopa
Valley Tribe has now lost a court battle that pit fish protection against
<http://topics.sacbee.com/energy+production/> energy production.

In a quietly issued Dec. 28 ruling
<http://pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov/common/opinions/201012/09-1134-1285059.pdf>
, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
<http://topics.sacbee.com/D.C.+Circuit/> D.C. Circuit rejected the tribe's
challenge to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decision regarding a
hydroelectric project on the  <http://topics.sacbee.com/Klamath+River/>
Klamath River.

The hydro project provides power to residents of six states, while the Hoopa
Valley Tribe relies on the river for trout. After FERC refused to impose
additional restrictions on the hydro project to protect the trout, the tribe
sued. The three-judge panel, though, ruled that federal regulators were
acting within their expertise.
