First noticed by Gabe Malor at AoSHQ WSJ: California Drought is the Fault of the EPA...and Lawyers who commented.

Unexpected and undesirable consquences are native to the environmental movement. The millions of deaths as a consequence of the DDT ban are just the beginning. Consider higher food prices—and as a result, less food—in third world countries because of evironmentalists' irrational fear of genemod crops and pesticides.

In fact, so patent are the often horrifying natural consequences of environmentalist policies that many suspect they aren't actually undesired by their proponents. I'm trying to give the EPA the benefit of the doubt when it comes to diverting water from a drought-plagued state, but it's difficult in the face of the history of the environmental movement.

I think they know very well.

I think this is part of Obama’s plan to take over the agricultural and food production and distribution industries, on the one hand, and part of the ecofreaks’ plans to destroy all human habitation, on the other.

If it were just a matter of water, they’d be building desalination plants yesterday off the coast of CA. But it’s not really that...

Please fix the excerpt in the main body so it reads with an mdash before "farmers" at the end of the first sentence -- thus: Sorry, I didn't notice the HTML mogrelization after the auto-excerption.

Thanks.

The water cutoff is likely to be a real estate scam, similar to those in every other recession I can remember.

Just watch for who's buying when the farmers give out.

As I said, green is bad. Whenever I hear the term I know it’s left wing garbage to tear down America and build a Soviet Union West.

Took a trip from Southern to Northern Cali this weekend. Saw this all up and down the I-5.

Imagine giving a power of attorney to a trusted friend who later gave that power to someone else.

That is what Congress did. Article 1 Section 1 of the Constitution, which grants all legislative power to Congress, a power granted by the states to the federal government has largely been sluffed off to administrative agencies.

Congress doesn't write the regulations with force of law that govern us, out of control agencies like Fish and Wildlilfe do. We can unelect congressmen, we can do nothing about the petty tyrants who ruin real lives. It's kinda slick, we wail and your local Congress critter can shrug his shoulders and say he had nothing to do with draconian regs.

Damn them all.

Let’s keep in mind the people of the “Inland Empire” tend to be staunchly conservative.

Perhaps the idea is to starve them out and force them to sell out and pack their jalopies and hit the road, a la “Grapes of Wrath”?

The Governor has access to a national guard...just take your property back and turn on the water. You don’t have to put up with this crap.
