“If anything is conservative, surely it is “conserving” our natural resources and environment.”

I agree with a lot of what you say BUT shutting down agriculture, a long time Califirnia mainstay, and importing food from all over the world ain’t exactly conservitive either.

I agree. Getting unbiased information on the issue is very difficult.

But it doesn’t take a great deal of information to figure out certain things.

Building (and rebuilding) a major city (New Orleans) below sea level is a bad idea.

Building major cities (Vegas and Phoenix) in deserts is a bad idea. Even LA is more or less a desert.

You might say people should be able to live wherever they want without government interference. I agree.

Yet these cities would not have been built or continue to be occupied or grow without massive provision of government subsidies.
