They want us to live in caves. Glad we have fewer of these kooks over here in Missouri.
And after all the water is drained and the area is restored to its original splendor, it will be off limits to human beings, of course.
The valley is forever changed, and will be very different than it was before the dam was put in.
What's done is done. People should consider getting a life instead of wringing their hands over what was done years ago.
if a beaver who is part of nature builds a dam for it's purposes, it is ok, but if a man who is part of nature builds a dam for his purposes, it is not ok.
There's a Federal wacko judge who's ruled against the administrations salmon plan and is now planning on taking over the water management on the Columbia River, which will include water releases and breaching several power generating damns.
The extreme hubris of this individual is breathtaking.
I think an energy transfer tax is required. Those states that have off-shore oil, but refuse to exploit it, should have to pay a tax to the states like Louisiana, Texas, and Alaska that make the "sacrifice" of energy exploration.
California uses immense amounts of energy, but refuses to provide any. Tax the crap out of them.
But of course! It will be available for use ONLY by members of the Sierra Club, Earth First, and the EDF for nude no-trace camping.
Who's money is it they want to spend?????
Not exactly. The Sierra Club et.al. will have their "Resource Centers" (you and I call them "cabins").
No, they want you to pay through the nose for water, like a good little serf, while they get to play in their socialized "natural" wonderland, at your expense of course.
How many dams and canals are in Missouri? I live in Cali...
Does Missouri need irrigations for their farms.
Nothing in Yosemite is off limits to human beings.
Which one?
People like Judge Hubris are why there is Pacific Legal Foundation.
Judgie Wudgie was reversed.
Beavers don't destroy whole valleys the size of Hetch Hetchy..... and all the other animals and plants. In 5-10 years man can destroy Yosemite Valley and turn it into a big lump of cement like LA, but a beaver can never do anything in that scale.
How much more money is needed to restore the vegetation etc....?
So Californians, who are consistently short on water and power, continue to favor population growth from legal immigration?
Don't you just love statements like this with absolutely no proof to back them up. All of their proposed solution would just be taking water from others.
Heres my solution for SF. Drink wine instead of water, bring back outhouses, and bathe in either the bay or the ocean, whichever is closer to your house.
