Democrat party does as much as it can to get rid of power generation in CA except when it directly serves them.

[Psycho_Bunny]

What a stunningly idiotic idea.

[DManA]

Let them drink Perrier.

[livius]

This is an idea that has been out there for decades. I think only now were Bambi and his environmental czar were able to empower them to get this thing out on the ballot.

It will cut off all of the water supply of San Francisco and Peninsula cities, and will leave a gaping, dead chasm that will take hundreds of years to ever look like Yosemite.

What a stunningly idiotic idea.

We are living Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm. All pigs at the trough are equal, except some of them are more equal than others.

Power for me but not for thee.

They’re going to retrofit two dams in Ann Arbor Michigan with generators. Its the other 3000 dams in the state that need to come out.

Sounds like something you could support?

[TheBattman]

Power generation and drinking water....

SO how’s will they take if they remove their source???

[USNBandit]

The scary thing it that SF will vote to get rid of its water supply, then it will go to court to take somebody else’s water. Let’s not even start with the lost electrical power.

[Revolting cat!]

They oughta put the useless Yosemite under water too, no? More water for everybody.

[cripplecreek]

Lets not forget the hundreds of billions in restoration grants that will be required to return the valley to its natural state.

But where are they going to get a conduit to feed them the water? It is amazing these mental geniuses don't mind doing this to the rest of California but Heaven forbid they do it to themselves. It does show there is some sort of mental capability with these people. So that would infer they have an agenda?

[cripplecreek]

That's the coming surprise, they won't be getting the water.

There's always "reclaimed" water.

[SUSSA]

LOL this is too funny.

They can replace the electric power with coal plants or just do without and have brown-outs. They can just do without the water like the farmers they screwed had to do.

Plus, they shouldn’t complain about extra $2,777 per household a year that their water will cost it’s less than Obamacare will cost them.

[jwsea55]

This is truly getting too bizarre.

[SUSSA]

I love it. I hope this turns San Francisco and the Peninsula cities into ghost towns.

[old school]

I always thought that it was stunningly idiotic to have allowed San Francisco reparian rights along the Tuolumne River in the first place. What a scam! If you think California voters (generally) are lunatics, S.F. voters are by orders of magnitude far crazier!

[cripplecreek]

From the story.

On one side are Republican lawmakers and environmentalists, including Ronald Reagan's former interior secretary, who want the dam removed and valley restored. On the other are Democratic San Franciscans, led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, fighting to hold onto the city's famously pure drinking water in a drought-prone state.

The oh so saintly republicans are doing this.

[Mike Darancette]

Not sure you gain all that much, other than another place to put tourist attractions and the valley will be silt.
