We agree on one thing. Ethanol subsidies are dumb. Made some farmers rich too.

It is all nonsense until big drought in California . """Urgent warning to East Bay residents: forced water rationing on the horizon Meredith May, Chronicle Staff Writer Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Nearly 1.3 million East Bay residents could be forced to ration water as early as next month if rains don't increase. The East Bay Municipal Utility District issued an urgent warning Tuesday that water levels are critically low and its Board of Directors may be forced to vote for mandatory water rationing at the May 13 meeting. EBMUD provides water to 29 cities and unincorporated towns in Contra Costa and Alameda counties, from Crockett south to Castro Valley and east to Danville. The water agency said that although January and February were wet months, March was the second driest March in the District's 85-year history and April is the driest to date. That means that the Sierra snowpack, which melts into the Pardee Reservoir where 90 percent of EBMUD water comes from, is yielding half it's normal runoff. Last spring was also dry, about 15 percent below average. The water supply in Pardee and in the Camanche flood control reservoir below it are now decreasing. Rationing could include restritictions on washing cars and running outdoor fountains. EBMUD board members could also increase water bills and limit outdoor watering to a certain number of days. Ultimately, the board could set allotments for overall water use. To view a map of the affected cities and towns, go to the EBMUD's Web page
