See how they like it when the sluice-gates at Hoover Dam close.
Permanently.
I have pasted much the same and had some FR cheese-eating, surrender-monkeys try to drag me through the coals.
Mark my words, if California tries it, they will only bring pain and hurt down on themselves.
The next revolution, if it has to happen, will be when America rises up and chastises Sodom on the Potomac.
They dont get their water from Lake Mead. They get it from Lake Havasu and below..if thats what you mean.
They do get the majority of power from the Hoover Dam. Matter of fact, the LA area gets more than the whole state of AZ does. If I remember right.
There is another easier solution. The Raker Act of 1913 signed by President Wilson allowed San Francisco to lease Hetch Hetchy land in Yosemite, and build a dam. San Francisco violated the terms of the Raker Act, by selling off hydro power to PG&E which profits from it. President Trump can issue an executive order to rescind the Raker Act, because San Francisco violated the terms of the lease. Yosemite is federal land. The feds can turn off the water spigot, depriving San Francisco and surrounding towns of water and electricity, until further notice.
