Do you have much compassion for the farmers in central California, Kenneth? Does it make you proud that environmental concerns trump food supplies and years of hard work, not to mention all the money plowed back into their operations? Food prices are up on the consumer level from my experience at the grocery store....but many producers are in trouble(something I know about first hand)... Many of your heros may get a taste of the old tar & feathers treatment if the country ever wakes up. And the local farmers are particularly bitter at the environmental priorities governing water use. "We're looking after fish, and yet we're losing crops," says almond farmer Cort Blackburn. "You cannot put the fish in front of all the people." Chris Cardella, a farmer on the east side of Firebaugh, agrees: "We need legislature to overrule all our environmental impacts because humans come first over fish." Mosebar dismisses such "myopic" thinking: "If we're assisting the fish, we're also assisting our food production." He hopes this crisis will spawn better infrastructure for moving and storing water. "We're at a crossroads right now," he says. "This is a wakeup call." time.com
