Never let it be said that Willie Green didn't give Dubya credit for doing something right.
Norton: Bush Budget Would Boost Fisheries
Can't rightly say that I know if, in the overall scheme of things, this amount of money is enough or too much. But as an avid fisherman and engineer, I like fish and fish hatcheries. And technologicly speaking, they're a relatively simple and inexpensive solution to boosting the fish population.As outlined by Norton, the proposed spending increase includes $2.5 million for hatchery restoration projects, such as the juvenile spring chinook in Oregon.
Another $3 million would improve aging pumps, pipelines and electrical systems, while $1.5 million would increase hatchery production for threatened species, such as pallid sturgeon and greenback cutthroat trout.
There is no panacea that will satisfy everybody's conflicting opinions for water usage in the face of drought and population growth. But to the extent that we can alleviate such conflicts with construction of infrastructure, whether it's fish hatcheries, wastewater treatment or seawater desalination plants, I support it. Everybody needs clean, fresh water to survive.
I'd sure rather have baked salmon, than to keep having to shred these half-baked EnvironMentalist's perpetual false perpetrations on the public!!!
Shred 'em hell... Let's just shift-can 'em!!!
