It's worth a try, at least, but don't bet the $9.1 million of your money spent on this will work. A more effective way of stopping invasions from the Illinois River would be to re-separate it from the Chicago River and the Great Lakes system. It's high time that was done.
"Construction of a permanent electric barrier to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes began last week on the Illinois River. Federal officials say the first phase will be complete and operating in February, 2005. A working-but-deteriorating barrier currently is in place."
