Nice, but it’s not the end of the world. This happened about 20 years ago and then about 20 years before that too. I’ve heard all the panic and rhetoric before… So I’m not going to panic this time.

When will our super woke humanitarian and environmental justice savants in the corrupt CA Marxist party explain the reason that they are allowing an extreme and unprecedented amount of clear cutting in the Sierra? Complete devastation around Shasta and Lassen and it is not dead trees. Look at your Google map in satellite view. Where is the Sierra Club? I read Bloomberg donated 100 million to them to follow the woke narratives.
@Obamavirus…..I believe what you are seeing is private property tree farms owned by lumber companies like Sierra Pacific. Those trees were planted probably 20 years ago, they’re like a vegetable farmer and his crop, only it takes years for the crop to be ready for harvest. There hasn’t been any old growth logging in CA for decades.
Most of the land in that area is US Forest Service owned. Sierra Pacific does own over 1 million acres. I’m not sure where the dividing lines are but in any case, clear cutting as a practice is not environmentally sound. It leads to silting of the streams and drying out of the topsoil and complete destruction of wildlife habitat. Selected harvesting or thinning is the newer best practice. Clear cutting is a cheap, grotesque cash out strategy.

Miracle of miracles. I just read this morning that the city of Antioch is building a desal plant. They will use the brackish water which is not as salty as the sea so it will be cheaper to take the salt out. They have been building it but just read about it today. Very strange. If the EBMUD or the state was smart they would do the same thing only bigger. However they are not that smart.

I heard the same thing and was very pleasantly surprised.
When salt is taken out of sea/brackish water where does the brine go?
That waste has to be dumped.
@ruserious….The same place EV batteries go…. they’ll figure it out.
And so Governor Pretty Boy wants to send even more water from the Delta to So Cal……
