The national media suddenly took notice of the California water wars this week after Governor Brown announced state-wide water restrictions. It’s nice to see some media interest in the problem, though they’re coming pretty late to the game. It’s amazing how a decades-long crisis in the Valley turns into a big story once the effects hit San Francisco and other coastal enclaves.
Governor Brown,
President Obama, and many others are blaming the water crisis on global
warming, but I have a different take. To watch my remarks during a water debate
on the House floor last year, click here. For a
