California is rich in resource but clueless leadership-wise. That is where the real drought lies.
The delta used to be considered "a swamp." This now gives rise to new credence when leaders and wanna be leaders cry... "how do you drain the damned swamp when you're up to your ass in allegators?" (allegators being environmentalist activist attorneys getting paid win or lose by your retarded government)
Always remember... militant, luddite EnvironMentalists want to submit everything and everyone to "Arrested Development!" (in perpetuity!!!) Now, we have Republican "leaders" joining in with this dubious "cause!"
This is the fish are more important them people decision.
Why should they build more dams when they can steal water from Northern California for all their swimming pools?
How can California boost water storage when the enviro terrorists want to blow up every dam in California?
If the enviro terrorists get rid of the dams on the Sacramento River, Klamath, Trinity and American rivers, millions of Californians will have to move or die because the lack of water.
These idiots forget that California without those dams in dry summer and early to late fall becomes a damn desert.
Those precious Shad and Red Legged Frogs will die in the yearly dust bowls.
The greenies will never allow it. The will see humans and wildlife alike suffer on their false alter of quack environmentalism. They seek a “purity” that never existed.
The only way we are going to get more water storage is if we start importing Canadian beavers to our local waterways.
California is a national supplier of food - fruits, nuts, row crops, field crops. It is a major sector of the California economy that employs, not only farmers, but harvesters, processors, bankers, brokers, truck drivers, marketers, etc. It is time that California treated the agricultural industry with some respect.
As for reservoirs and dams, the enviros have an agenda to remove dams. They are currently in the process of getting their way on the four Klamath River dams.
If anyone looked at Lake Shasta on the Sacramento, they would be appalled at the water levels and the amount of bottom showing. They have talked about enlarging the height of the dam as if that would make a difference. When there is a drought and the courts release all the water in the reservoir for fish, it doesn’t matter how high the dam is. There is no additional water to fill it.
More water does not mean more fish (particularly salmon.) Sometimes it is what is happening with the ocean that is the main cause of a fish population decline.
Yep, we must protect our precious bodily fluids...
California's problem is its population, not its water supply.
Stop the growth, which is 100% immigration and well over 85% illegal, and the problem is temporarily solved.
Before wasting time reading this BS, I expect to see a list of the dams that hve been removed, and the longer list of dams that the nut jobs want to remove in California.
If rule by the best minds is called a Meritocracy, what is rule by the bottom 10% of IQ (the California Legislature) called?
California is stupid, they can have all the water and electricity they’ll ever need...
Nuclear desalinization via nuclear power plants...
