“The flow has been required to save two species of mussels 200 miles downriver.”
Do mussels pay taxes? What is government formed for?
What a bunch of parasites Floridians are! They commandeer Georgia’s drinking water and gas and oil from TX and LA. I think it should be sink-or-swim time for this bunch of free loaders.
If Sonny Perdue had any balls he would send out the national guard and take over the damn at Lake Lanier.
I think Georgia should be selling water to Alabama and Florida.
Atlanta’s unrestricted growth and cavalier attitude to water use
Statements like this always make me wonder how these liberals want to restrict growth and control the water supplies themselves...
This is pretty funny coming from Los Angeles, California. A city and state which has been sucking up the Colorado River and many rivers and lakes in California for decades. Take down the dams on the Colorado and see how fast LA runs out of water for their lush landscaping and swimming pools.
Pot/Kettle
The bigger picture here is that the Army Corp of Engineers has been hijacked by the left wing environmental lobby. Very little of the ACOE’s activity is human related now, although the ACOE was created to make navigation and flood control a priority for urban growth to occur.
It is sad that now every project the ACOE engages in is to “restore wetlands”, dig channels for the pallid sturgeon, and render once highly productive farm land in Missouri River bottoms useless, by destroying the levies that once protected that farm ground. Ironically, those levies were built by the ACOE. That same mentality governs everything the ACOE has control over. And they claim to control every drop of water run off. Which means the people who need the water can be leveraged into submission, or just flat out run out if it meets the objectives of the enviromental wackos.
We have to get control of the ACOE by fighting back, just like the people of Klamath, Oregon did and still are for water they are entitled to. Whoever controls the water, controls the population. The fish and the mussels are just an excuse.
Watchdog group?
That would be ignorant doofuses with time on their hands and not a clue about how to run a hot dog stand, let alone a city.
The typical "watchdog group" refrain is invariably:
People Last!
the environmental whackos are going to use this to stop all development, and the GOP is going along with them.
Yes, please, get rid of the people so the mussels can survive, after all they are much more important. >S<
