The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I always hear lefties complain that CEQA is unfairly maligned, but anyone with enough money can stop or seriously delay any project from going forward.
Separately from self imposed restrictions, I'm not sure what water projects we could even try to build without the feds suing us over the delta smelt.

On Sept. 5, for the first time, a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet was ramped up to a field strength of 20 tesla, the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth. That successful demonstration helps resolve the greatest uncertainty in the quest to build the world’s first fusion power plant.
Developing the new magnet is seen as the greatest technological hurdle to making that happen; its successful operation now opens the door to demonstrating fusion in a lab on Earth, which has been pursued for decades with limited progress. With the magnet technology now successfully demonstrated, the MIT-CFS collaboration is on track to build the world’s first fusion device that can create and confine a plasma that produces more energy than it consumes. That demonstration device, called SPARC, is targeted for completion in 2025.

So the end of the world will be in 2025. Got it.

Just a staggering loss of California’s Chinook salmon this year:
Quote:
California’s disappearing salmon The drought, along with man-made impediments, places the state's Chinook salmon population at grave risk. Of the estimated 16,000 spring-run Chinook that made the journey from the Golden Gate Bridge to creeks across the Central Valley, about 14,500 have died, nearly all of them before spawning.

Inadvertent proof the illuminati is in contact with extraterrestrials.
I just read a chapter in a book this morning that basically argues exactly that. When the anti-nuclear forces win the replacement is overwhelmingly fossil fuels with some token renewables thrown in and that the NRDC, Sierra Club, and EDF are basically complicit in this as they are well aware ahead of time that this will be the outcome. Admittedly, the book is very pro-nuclear so I need to read more on the anti-nuclear side of things, but it seems like nuclear should be much more embraced by the environmentalists/those concerned with climate change.

If there are no broken windows, what will the window makers do?
