The EPA needs to go.
Hey Katz, ever hear of links? Otherwise all you have said is yap-yap.

I expect that people will have knowledge of issues that have been well publicized and are commonly known.
It might be that sanity will return to the California Central valley but not without an environmental fight.
Will California?s Central Valley Bloom Again? - Investors.com
Politics: Is sanity finally coming to California's Central Valley? America's breadbasket has long been victim of capricious water cutoffs to "save" the environment. A bill in Congress puts an end to this man-made drought. It should pass.
Rep. Devin Nunes of Visalia, Calif., has come forward with a legislative remedy for the policies that have turned fertile fields into hollowed-out dust bowls in the name of "being green."
Nunes' Sacramento-San Joaquin Water Reliability Act goes to a vote in the House Wednesday and if it passes, it will guarantee that water the farmers paid for finally gets to the parched Central Valley. It will put an end to the sorry stream of shriveled vineyards, blackened almond groves and unemployed farm workers standing in alms lines for bagged carrots from China.
The insanity of the current policies against some of America's most productive farmers in one of the world's richest farm belts is largely the work leftist politicians from the wealthy enclaves of the San Francisco Bay Area. This group has exerted its political muscle on the less politically powerful region that produces more than half the fruits and vegetables consumed in the U.S. — with $26 billion in annual sales.
Ah yes, more of the people that think that the air quality of China is fine, that rivers poisoned for hundreds of miles is a cheap price to pay for the wealth of the 1%. That children's health is far less important than the wealth of the already rich.
What a bunch of knownothing asses you are.

Water Issues in California > Sierra Club California
The Bay-Delta is also the hub of the state's water system, supplying water to more than 22 million Californians and over 7 million acres of farmland. Our dependence on the Bay-Delta has led to its ecological collapse.
Today:
On average, about half of the fresh water that once flowed naturally into the Bay-Delta is diverted to San Joaquin Valley agribusiness and cities
All but one of the major tributaries to the Bay-Delta are dammed
More than 90 percent of the Bay's original wetlands are lost to development, dredging and landfill
Winter Run Chinook salmon populations have declined by more than 90 percent since the early 1970s
California has lost 75 percent of its commercial salmon fishing boats over the last 15 years
The recreational fishing industry has lost $6 billion over the last 25 years
88 million pounds of pesticides and toxic chemicals flow into the Bay each year
Chemicals in Bay Area fish are known to cause cancer, birth defects, and other health problems in humans
For decades, little was done to address the increased concentration of pollutants, intrusion of salt water, and the resulting diminished water quality in the Bay-Delta. In the early 1990s, the state was finally forced to adopt water quality standards, partly because of the drastic decline in once-robust populations of spring-run Chinook salmon and Delta smelt. The Sierra Club continues to press on state and federal officials to live up to their obligations to protect and restore the Bay-Delta. By protecting water quality and flows in the Delta and its watershed, we are working to protect the health of Californians and the environment at the same time.

There is no water, not because there is no water but because a judge, one environmental activist judge turned the water off to protect the delta smelt.
If the EPA was necesssary at one time it has long since become too powerful and destructive.
Environmentalists, particularly San Francisco environmentalists really don't care that workers in the Central valley now depend on food aid, much of it bought really cheap from China. Neither do they care that Americans now depend on Chile for produce. Let's put it this way, those the can afford it, but available foreign produce from Chile and New Zealand, the poor depend on what's bought as cheap as possible from China and India with whatever environmental controls those countries find appropriate.
