Living smack-dab in the embattled Central Valley of California, where
our legislatures cause more than enough trouble as they endlessly legislate Utopia, we now have the feds strangling our valley water supply. I love fishing the delta, the main body of water at the center of this war, and I want a healthy fishery, but thousands of acres of farmland now lay fallow as the feds have cut off the water supply to save the 2" delta smelt - and the salmon run. Even I would choose people over fish - but that isn't the real issue, I don't think. I say the problem is not NorCal farmers, but SoCal water guzzlers. Let the SoCal millions pay $400 per month for water as they build desalinization plants along the coast to supply themselves with the water they need. In return, we'll continue to grow food for them. As it is, y'all will be finding more and more of your produce labled "Product of Chile" (or name most any country). Oh yeah, we should begin importing much of our food, shouldn't we? Why not? We just love importing oil that we also refuse to drill and refine ourselves. God bless America. Dale www.FishWisher.com |

Dalewww.FishWisher.com From my understanding, desalinization plants take a progidous amount of energy to run. I don't remember California have much of that to spare. |

There, Coke struck a deal with the Indian Govt. to have all the water they need. Now, the poor get physically beaten away from Water sources. Now, if we could only beat away Faggots like SCOTT INGERSOLL...we'd be better off. |

I don't remember California have much of that to spare. _____________________ 80% of California water goes to AG. They pay from $6.42 to 9.50 an acre foot. They can resell the water. One of the biggest growers of subsidized cotton just sold 1500 acre feet to the town of Mojave for some estimate $5500 an acre foot. We would have plenty of water to grow food if we were not using it to grow alfalfa and cotton and rice in the desert. Resnick a billionaire Beverly Hills mogul is one of the biggest almond and pistaschio suppliers in California with Paramont Farms. http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/08/...rial-colonial/ A little about the Resnicks.
