"At what point will private industry be able to develop mineral and oil wealth"

At what point will private Hospital Ships be able to operate?

It just take SOOO long to get there from anywhere.

At least 5hrs from Sacramento if you don't take the scenic route.

If you hit the coast at the Russian River, which is a good distance anyway, you're in for an all day drive.

Quite possibly the prettiest country in the whole world.

Preserving beautiful, easily accessible scenery for us and our descendants. OK by me.

Not by me. "Preservation" is perhaps the surest way to wreck that coastal habitat. You should see what it did to Wilder Ranch north of Santa Cruz, now rapidly being overrun by poison hemlock.

God isn’t making any more magnificent coastline for us.

Just wait a wee bit longer; as San Andreas is due to let loose again shortly.

The 2007 Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities (WGCEP 2007), a multi-disciplinary collaboration of scientists and engineers, has forecast a 63% chance that an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or greater will occur in the San Francisco Bay Area between 2008 and 2038. Given this high likelihood, you should educate yourself now about steps that can be taken now to ensure you and your loved ones are prepared for when the next big earthquake hits.

God isn’t making any more magnificent coastline for us. 2.5 square miles is a flyspeck.

Apparently Scott Pelley sees Obama as God.
