Dams for dams sake?

As a Vacaville resident who knows where much of her water comes from, I understand why some of our state political leaders want to be sure that dams are included in any discussion about California's water future.

No. 1 on my hit list of dams to knock down is Hetch Hetchy. California would be better off without it and without the reservoir behind it. Ya think?

[Maximus Vacavillius]

Dams? The more the better!

The Delta wold be a lake in wet years and a dried up salt marsh in dry years with out the dam things.

Damn!

Knocking 'em all down would force 3/4 of California's population to move back east (and back down south of the border). Or, it might provide a bonanza to the bottled water industry.

[El Exilio]

The more the better? Yes, absolutely, except for Hetch Hetchy. Just think of the benefits of drying up San Francisco's source of water.

And ... we would have a second "Yosemite Valley."

and that would be a bad thing?

Yosemite Valley, with all its granite, would be a great nuclear waste depository. And in knocking down the Hetch Hetchy dam, where would Frisco get most of it's water?

O.I.C. Now I see where you're coming from now. The ultimate solution for one of the most liberal cities in the U.S.

As long as I get my water and Southern California gets it's fair share of Northern California water I say build build build the dams dams dams.
