Why don’t they build a desalinization plant? They’ve got all the saltwater they could ever want, and they aren’t going to suddenly find some fresh water that they did not know about.
And a water recycling plant, use filtered water from waste water.
The dems try to advocate for so many special interests that eventually one cause has to collide with another. And now that they’re in charge of everything there’s no one left to blame. Uh-oh.
The irrigation systems already in place, desalination plants are pricey, it would cost alot more then simply letting the water flow where its already set up to.. I think anyway heh.
35 to 45% unemployment in a dem district. Send the illegals home.
CA has some many natural resources, scenery, people with money (or had money), agriculture, etc etc. Only Democrats, illegals and unions are dumb enough to destroy paradise. Reminds me of people starving in Africa when white farmers in Rhodesia were capable of feeding half the continent until Mugabe aka Obama 1/2 destroyed everything.
Don’t worry, the CA GOP will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

California Republicans have had many opportunities and they always screw it up.
They are already not handling it well.
What’s quite amazing is the fact that the “water issue” is getting very little play in the national press.
If Republicans could somehow be blamed for putting fish over people, being responsible for 40% unemployment in what could arguably be the vegetable capital of the United States, this would be 24/7 news on every network.
...”yes” to water for the delta smelt and “no” to water for crops....”
....something like this would be gold in the hands of somebody like Lee Atwater...RINOs don’t have the guts to attack with it.
I wrote to the GOV about this and got some boilerplate letter. It was awhile ago—last year. If the mideast can do this, why not CA???
Talking about recycling, how ‘bout they take the delta smelt and make fertilizer out of ‘em?
I wonder if they teach kids where food comes from anymore in publik skool?
oh,, and jobs.
So the problem is not are the fish being deprived of water, but the fact their eggs are being sucked into the pumps, or so the dimwits claim. Desalinization plants wouldn't help there except they wouldn't need those particular pumps if we had them. Right now however, the problem isn't water supply it is stupidity on the part of the government and a possible land grab in the works.
They can destroy until nothing is left but ignorant leftist will blame pubbies & STILL will vote (D).
All the Republicans have to do to win Boxer's seat is create a TV spot showing Boxer's explaining why she voted to keep the water shut off, show a picture of the fish being saved and then showing a picture of a little Latino girl looking dirty and sad. Easy!
