Spurned at the ballot box three years ago and facing an even more uphill battle now because of California's historic drought, an environmental group has filed a lawsuit attempting to drain Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, a linchpin of the water supply for 2.6 million Bay Area residents from San Francisco to San Jose to southern Alameda County.

I think that this is an awesome idea. During the worse drought in many years cut off the water supply to those sanctimonious environmental twits living in San Francisco.

A huge amount of water falls as rain on California. Most of that just flows directly into the ocean.
Because dams are bad. M'kay?

Whatever happened to William Shatner’s offer to help pipe water to CA from the Columbia River?

I don’t.
I don’t want those idiots fleeing their own disaster and spreading it around elsewhere.

Yes, I am the Lorax who speaks for the trees, which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please. But I’m also in charge of the brown Bar-ba-loots, who played in the shade in their Bar-ba-loot suits and happily lived eating truffula fruits. Now, thanks to your hacking my trees to the ground, there’s not enough truffula fruit to go ‘round!

Oh sure. Give the Shat even more water. Remember this?:
Shatner: "Oh, my God!"
Dispatcher: "What's your problem there, sir?"
Shatner: "My wife's at the bottom of the pool."
Dispatcher: "OK, did you get her out of the pool yet, sir?"
Shatner: "No, not yet." Dispatcher: "I want you to take her out of the pool right now."

Let them drain it...and let them buy Evian water. And watch that overpriced real estate crash as fast as the lakes ave dried up.

If they would stay in Calif. it would be awesome. But we don’t want them coming here to screw us up. Enough idiotic Californians have left and screwed up other places.

Look up who owns Hetch Hetchy Reservoir &* Water System
Research how San Francisco has been balancing their budgets ...for years .....
The brain trust who files this suit ... should apply for the for the Federal Relocation Program [ In Colorado ]for the mentally challenged with regards to insane law suits

Genesis 18: Then he said, May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there? He answered, For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it. 33: When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home. This was a reference to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. There are more than ten in San Fran so I cannot judge. But my heart says drain it, just let them suffer the consequences.
