Maybe you can hook up your Peleton to the power grid and help work the problem?


Oroville hydropower is planning to take hydro dam offline later this summer due to lack of water to run turbines.

    Thankfully California shut down plenty of NG power plants

    It will be hard to blame Trump but they will

    California can do what it wants

    Victor Davis Hanson had a podcast a few weeks ago about this. He outlined how California went from an agricultural powerhouse to an incompetent state unable to provide for its own citizens. The blame lays at the feet of Silicon Valley running the state.

    The party of science and unicorn farts strikes again. Just don't call it a cult or a religion as the left marches back to a pre-airconditioning world with optional candles for light source.

    Washington and Oregon both want the lower Snake dams gone.

    Both states also believe they have an untapped revenue source by selling “Excess runoff” from the Columbia River.

    Why can’t Idaho simply divert Idaho’s Excess water from the Snake River just before it flows into Oregon?

    FIRST water delivered to California will be worth the most.

    Greater Idaho won’t fund it itself

    There is no reason for Washington Oregon and California to ever be short on water

    Yes excess should be caught stored and shipped

    Rome could do it

    Imagine a place next to an ocean that doesn't have water. Lol


    I feel like desalination should have been one of our earliest technologies

    Imagine a mountain range running up the coast that collects snow and melts it every year

    In Washington its basically in a rain forest of snow

    Washington has plenty of water as does Oregon

    All three states let it flow into the ocean

    Its something the government should use the trillions of dollars they take from us on

    Or bike lanes

    Bike lanes are never used. Those fucking assholes block every small road all summer.

    I enjoy road biking. Especially in bike lanes.
