Ok, you're a good one to ask... What did you think of the other comment I made about storing water in the Desolation Valley Wilderness that could be wheeled through tunnels with generator/pumps to both CA & NV. In your opinion would that destroy any or all of the recreational/spiritual/esthetic value of that protected area?
I also pinged GVgirl here as she was once very alarmed and involved when the local government was dealing rather heavy handedly with that family of young children who wouldn't come out of their home in your neck of the woods.
Most of the West and East slope watersheds are already heavily dammed. But the Clean Water Act regs require so much to be left to flow into the Delta. And then there is the Peripheral Canal...
California's best bet is desalination/nuclear plants. But it will never happen until all the Greens turn brown.
Some of my better fund-raising work (if I do say so myself.)
So Sierra. What did you get me into this time? :-).
Dear So Cal,
The Feds giveth and the Feds taketh away. Tough breaks. You need a better contract.
Dearest WaspMan,
Storing water in the Desolation Valley? You're not going to like this, but I'm still heartbroken over Hetch Hetchy. With all this damnable shist and manzanita-covered foothill canyon country going to waste, don't you think if So Cal ponied-up the bucks we'd be selling water if there was money in it? By golly. With all that money, we could afford to become a separate state and God's Country would be Bush Country for sure!
