Okay, environmentalist wackos opposing urban sprawl at least makes sense. But opposing the spread of plants? What is this?

If they do not like wine plants, then they should buy that land.

They say there isn't enough water to support more vineyards, which pollute the river and soil and threaten salmon and other wildlife with runoff. If it hadn't just flooded there this month, that claim might be more credible.

But buying land is something capitalists do! And capitalism is evil! They would never stoop to such base means.

Enviro-whackos vs. California liberal wine snobs. Does it get any better? I think not.

The environmentalist wackos are discriminating against plants on the basis of species! They are racists!

Don't fret, they're buying as much land as they can get their grubby little fingers on, and they're doing it with your tax dollars.
Think 'conservency'.

They ran out the timber industry and now they're after the vineyards. To the same ends. No jobs. No local industry except real estate sales where the locals can live off the money made from other people with real jobs in the cities.

"They say there isn't enough water to support more vineyards, which pollute the river and soil and threaten salmon and other wildlife with runoff." I'm a fish-hugger, but properly maintained vineyards shouldn't use any chemicals other than perhaps copper sulfate. There should be little to no change in runoff with reasonable soil management techniques. A grape plant or a pine tree plant shouldn't operate too differently. Just make sure you protect a wide riparian strip.
