A Note to Readers
Because of scheduling this report is a day or two late this week.
The U.S. Drought Monitor presents a vivid picture of the changes in the status of drought in California. With the photo above showing the dramatic decrease of that intensity over the past month.
But, the map does not present, and such a summary-type map cannot, the actual conditions on the ground. An article discussing that topic follows the first section, below.
I include this week an article on why not one of the water storage projects have even been given full approval to begin construction by the State Water Board after more than seven years after the approval in 2014 by voters of Proposition 1, which included $2.7 billion for such storage. Of course, the answer to that question is that is the problem of bureaucracies (especially environmentalist-tainted ones) and, even more importantly, the character of the general leadership of the nation today. That is, they seek only to manage problems, rather than solve them.
On infrastructure I include an article by my associate Ron Kokinda, “All Energy Is Not Equal: Lessons from Donald Trump and Lyndon LaRouche.”
The Feature is “ The Mars Vortex and the ‘Pursuit of Happiness’”.
