Comments about ‘California river system is nation's most endangered’

All in the name of progress many states have chosen to convert and become mother nature setting the course of mankind. Las Vegas is another example of over developent and abuse of its natural resources and is going after other sources to meet their uncontrolled growth. Utah is facing similar problems and preach conversation to others and at the same time over develope areas that are not fit to develope. In the name of growth we have and are in the process of depleting all that is available. Then when natural disasters occur taxes are required to replace what is lost and redevelope.

Having the American Rivers group determine whether rivers need attention is like having General Motors determine where bailout money should go.

It's important that we wake up to the self-serving nature of most advocacy groups.

The article said "because of outdated water management and poor flood planning".

Perhaps the flooding wouldn't be such a problem if we put a dam on it?

And the salmon? Red Herrings. Neighboring rivers sure aren't chock full of salmon, and "restoration" of the target river will do nothing to make it a salmon haven. If any salmon do show up, they will be the most expensive protein on the planet, considering what Obama is mindlessly throwing at it. If you want salmon, you would get several million fold returns on your investment by simply opening a fish farm offshore a little ways-in tidal waters where tidal flow will ameliorate any fish farm concerns.
