BDCP:Governor Brown and Obama Admin Outline Path Forward

(Well, BDCP still has CEQA requirements to fulfill, of which serious study and consideration has to, by law, be given to alternative options.  This means thru-Delta Conveyance and Dr. Pyke's plan must be addressed.  They can want tunnels in one hand and tinkle in the other, see which gets filled fastest.)

(Well, gee let's see...our august legislators some several years ago passed legislation requiring oxygenation of our unleaded fuel, pretty much manipulating us into purchasing a whole lot less octane for a whole lot more dollars.  AND, our impressive legislature also mandated that only petroleum refined in California can be sold in California.  Seems to me, all these years later, 'they' got exactly what they put into motion. Yep, including our screw-over.))
