VDH never disappoints.

I have never met a Bay Area environmentalist or Silicon Valley grandee who didn’t drink or shower with water imported from a far distant water project.---says VDH

IMO the only one that had the insight and forethought that translated into substantive action for California was Mulholland. As bad as he screwed water rights owners, he at least had the benefit of thinking beyond his lifetime actually benefit their realm.

There is no one I can think of today in California public service that does that in any shape form or fashion.

Jerry Brown wanted to be like his dad. The problem was, Edmond was a thinker, and a visionary in some senses. Jerry on the other hand is and has always been a moron. And people vote for him only because he has a “D” after his name. He left Oakland in shambles, his ties to Willie Brown left the state with over 500 billion in unfunded pensions, and yes Jerry helped create the drought situation we are in now. It’s just like Solar energy. The Sierra Club working with the Democrats blocked almost all permits during Arnolds rule, and when Brown was elected they stopped blocking them. Purely political. This is why the Democrats can not be trusted in California. They use money and power to destroy solutions if they didn’t make them or they were passed when they were not in power. they don’t care about the state or the people. It’s party over People

Not just Brown but the whole damn communists Democrats that have been running California for too damn many years. All these rats have been doing is filling their pockets and have done nothing about water except restrict every effort to build desalination plants. That example is the same on everything that would help its people.

In the 1800s, the area from central Kansas to the Pacific was known as THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT for a reason. It was a desert.

In 1831, Mountain man Jedediah Smith was killed by Comanches while searching for water on the Santa Fe Trail. It was so dry that year that many springs and water holes had dried up.
