Notice what’s missing in Gov. Brown’s
solution? What’s missing is the most common and well-proven way to store
winter rainwater (much of which is not required to maintain fish and
wildlife, and just runs into the sea) for mankind: construction of new dams!
But what some people don’t realize is that Gov. Brown is in a real
jam; how can he possibly talk about the best single solution (more dams)
for creating more available water (and jobs, by the way) when he is
currently supporting the removal of several perfectly good dams in Siskiyou County? And adding insult to injury, California taxpayers will foot the bill for this insane dam removal project, costing approximately one billion ($1,000,000,000.00) dollars, which could be used to build more water storage dams instead.
These particular dams hold approximately 135,000 acre-feet of fresh
water; that’s nearly 44 billion gallons of fresh water that may
disappear at a time when California desperately needs more water, not
less! These dams also produce about 150 megawatts of clean-green
electrical power for Californians. What kind of lunacy does this
potential dam removal action represent? The simple answer is greed!
California needs more dams (and the water they can provide), not fewer.
Bad management of the People’s resources is at the root of these and
many other problems we all face and, according to
socialist-environmentalists, must endure. And for Californians who are
being shorted on their water by a short-sighted politician, I think it’s
a good bet that the bigwigs will have all the water they want for their
spas, pools, and lawns–regardless of rationing. Think about the 44
billion gallons of fresh water these people want to carelessly drain
into the sea, and then email or phone Gov. Brown
and give him a piece of your mind! And if you live outside California,
this same paradigm is (or soon will be) affecting you as well; so make
it a point to become proactive while you can!
