California commission recommends ripping out Klamath Dams

“It is a set up. The guv is going to back ripping out the Klamath dams in exchange for the enviros backing the two new dams in the central valley.”

Last week our local fishwrap carried an interesting oped by one of the Bee’s oped writers re the Governator’s vetoes and bill approvals.

Apparently, he poes both sides with his vetoes and signings. He seems to be fairly consistant vetoing bills that would harm a lot of workers and the California economy.

So this “swap” would be consistant with him. Rip out the dams and $crew the farmers and ranchers along the Klamath and bring in two newer and bigger power plants where there are more people and jobs. Also, if I’m not mistaken, a lot of the power created by the Klamath Dams goes to Oregon not California. So the Oregon greenie consumers would bear the extra cost for electricity.

Is there a Klamath ping list?

Notice this article is from Oct, two months ago. I thought I read recently that this is settled, the dams are to stay put. I may be wrong on this.

The ping list I collected is posted at #65, above.
I ping it when I see things but I'm not that close to the issues so I haven't pinged it very often.

There once was a HUGE one but I’m not sure anymore. This is NOT resolved as far as I know. I’ve pinged a few of the central individuals in this insane ongoing fight instigated by the dope smokin, dam hatin, liberal EnvironMentalista whackos who can’t git outa the sixties in their drug demented, cognitively impaired minds!!!

This is just CRAZY. Keep me in mind when you see new info on this, will you?

[DeLaine]

I guess I’d like to be added then, thanks

[SierraWasp]

Keep you in mind at my age??? You must be CRAZY!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!

I've never kept ping lists except in my head as I happen to remember those who might possibly be intersted in the discussion. But I'll try not to let you slip out of this increasingly slippery memory bank. Maybe it's time, if this issue hasn't been resolved, for someone to start another Klamath Tea Party Ping List!!!

That's fine. The folks in Kalifornicatia can watch TV by candle light. Oh, the same source that powers the lights also powers the TV? Well! That isn't fair!

WHIIIINNNNNNE!

[calcowgirl]

I added you to the list.

Feel free to ping me to threads to alert me to anything you think should be pinged to the list.
I’d appreciate it.
