(BTW this is Tom's other point).Divide and conquer.<br />According to Tom Philps' own numbers MWD accounts for 4% of the water diverted from the Delta, EBMUD/Bay Area accounts for 5%.<br />The Central Valley uses 24%. <br />The vast majority for the benefit of a few very wealthy agri-buisiness owners. <br />You figure it out.<br />Who's the bad guy ?<br />How bad do you need to buy pistachios or almonds just a little cheaper ?Chris Gulickhttp://www.eddosharbor.comnoreply@blogger.com
