Default California fish vs farmers: This is the land of NUTS!

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.

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

It cant be as bad a Coca-Cola in India. 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.

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.

A little about the Resnicks.

And about the $5500

We drove through the central valley and I was thinking the same thing.
They are still having that water war.
The people in the valley resent the water they send to LA
When you get up in the mountains the people resent the water they have
to send to the valley.
When you get to Tahoe City where the flood gates are, they don't care
at all. They use all the water they want, keep the lake full and send
anything extra down the Truckee River

The only place in California I saw a 6 gallon a minute shower head was
Tahoe and we had TWO of them. (Squaw Creek Resort)

I figured out a way to unrestrict the new shower head. Actually, I called
the company that makes it, explained what I needed to do, and the tech told
me how to drill out a piece. Off to ACE for the drill and now I have a nice
shower every morning.

Glad to see you're doing the liberal thing -- conservation.
