> It kind of implies that these dams weren't really important to begin with...

On a second reading, I don't think you were actually saying "it was pointless to build them to being with", but apropos my initial misreading --

It's worth noting that US per capital electric usage has increased ~10 fold since 1950; when these dams were built, 70,000 homes probably would have been 700,000.
