Jay Familglietti, NASA’s top water scientist, recently warned that California has only a year’s supply of water left in storage facilities and the backup groundwater is rapidly depleting. Despite this harrowing fact, California has no backup plan to address this crisis.
“California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain,” stated Familglietti. “In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis.”
UPDATE: California Gov. Jerry Brown issues ineffectual, mandatory water restriction as one-third of our nation’s crops are threatened. See Page 3 for updates.

That worthless rail service will have to be used to speed cattle throughout the San Joaquin Valley. It wi be decades before the rail is built in metropolitan areas, if ever. The cost will be prohibitive. Even then patronage is likely to be very low. Regressives have these dreams of rail lines all over the country taking people out of their freedom-giving automobiles.
We need the water for fracking!
Look to Israel. Oh, wait. Regressive are boycotting Israel.
