The Auburn Dam has been on the books for some 40 YEARS!!! Back in the 60's when I was a miner on the upper American River project, (Brushy Canyon tunnel, French Meadows surge shaft). The environmental nutsos have had their way with weak-knee'ed government types and have painted this project as being worse than a nuclear power plant.
Anyone who says it won't generate power because there isn't enough drop doesn't understand pentstocks and hydro power generation.

Kirby said he strenuously disagrees with Doolittle over education policy and strongly opposes vouchers that parents could use to put their children in private schools.

Well naturally this one caught my attention. Although Doolittle is not in my wing of the party, no money for Kirby from Torie, even if I had an interest in funding internecine primary battles, which I rarely do. (I doubt know anything about the merits of the dam, although dams these days are typically problematical economically, and sometimes otherwise.)

Sad to say, I think Osama has killed off the voucher movement for at least a decade. Rather costly collateral damage, but facts are facts. You can imagine how the debate will go when it comes to cashing in vouchers at schools with religious ties. And there is not a neat solution for finessing it. Sad, very sad.
