Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced today that he was challenging city residents and municipal departments to cut water usage by 20% over the next 2 1/2 years. Because California is in the midst of a serious drought, Garcetti says, urgent action is needed. However, much of California’s problems can be associated with (you guessed it) environmentalist activism.

For example, back in 2009 a plan was proposed that would have been expanded and improved the state’s water supply. When it was made public and the funding mechanism via bonds was revealed, environmentalist groups expressed strong opposition against it. The Los Angeles Times reported that:

Sierra Club officials, concerned about the environmental effects of dam and reservoir construction, expressed doubts. “This looks like more of the same, more money for storage that is unneeded,” said Jim Metropulos, a senior advocate with the group.

Just recently, Senator Dianne Feinstein complained about the eco-whacko’s rebuke of her plan to fund infrastructure for the state. The best response groups like the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) could come up with was water recycling, rain capture and water efficiency. I wonder how any of them would feel comfortable drinking their water knowing it was recycled sewage.

For over thirty years, environmentalist groups have been steadfast in their opposition to upgrading California’s water delivery infrastructure that affects major cities like LA. Environmentalist support of proposals like conservation and water recycling is a front not only for their opposition to enhanced water delivery infrastructure (not just in California but elsewhere too) but also demonstrates one other way they express their nihilistic, vicious hostility to human beings.
