OK this is funny. Seems the oh so correct San Fran Nan Pelosi and Feinstein are all for bankrupting the coal industry in the name of green energy but when it comes to something that affects them? Oh no!!! Can't do that!!!
Headline:
Dam could be removed to restore Yosemite's lost Hetch Hetchy valley
Excerpts:
"On one side are Republican lawmakers and environmentalists, including Ronald Reagan's former interior secretary, who want the dam removed and valley restored. On the other are Democratic San Franciscans, led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, fighting to hold onto the city's famously pure drinking water in a drought-prone state."
<snip>
"But the city never seriously has considered giving up its claim to the valley. "This is a ridiculous idea," Mayor Ed Lee said. "It's a Trojan Horse for those that wish to have our public tricked into believing we have an adequate substitute for the Hetch Hetchy reservoir. We do not. There isn't any."
<snip>
"With opposition from then-Mayor Feinstein, Hodel brought the issue back to life in 1987 as a way of alleviating crowds and traffic in Yosemite Valley, which now sees 4 million visitors a year. Most recently the George W. Bush administration tried funding a feasibility study, but it was quashed politically by Democrats when Pelosi was Speaker of the House."

Mods... since this is an AP story in the seattle times, feel free to fix it if I didn't do it right. I ain't too swift on the legalities of it.
