California and the illegitimate Biden regime strike again. For years, we've been told by the Religious Cult of Global Cooling Global Warming Climate Change that California's droughts are getting worse. Apparently, the Marxist in charge didn't realize that a coastal desert isn't suppose to support the number of people who live there.
One of California's biggest problems is that it gets large amounts of rain, but the State has been removing dams so that all the rain water/snow melt will quickly run into the Pacific Ocean instead of being save for farmers and people to drink. Add to the latest "green energy" plans of solar and wind, they are now ending green energy generation as quickly as they are stopping fossil fuel burning.
That's the thing about Progressives -- everything the touch turns to shit...

The largest dam removal project in the US is completed – a major win for Indigenous tribes
The largest dam removal project in US history is finally complete, after crews last week demolished the last of the four dams on the Klamath River. It’s a significant win for tribal nations on the Oregon-California border who for decades have fought to restore the river back to its natural state.
The removal of the four hydroelectric dams — Iron Gate Dam, Copco Dams 1 and 2, and JC Boyle Dam — allows the region’s iconic salmon population to swim freely along the Klamath River and its tributaries, which the species have not been able to do for over a century since the dams were built.
[...]
Federal regulators approved the plan to raze the dams in 2022. The next year, the smallest of the four dams, Copco No. 2, was removed. Crews then began releasing water from the dams’ reservoirs at the beginning of this year, which was necessary before dismantling the last remaining dams.
The river system has been steeped in controversy: During the recent historic Western drought that dried up the Klamath Basin, an intense water war pitted local farmers against Indigenous tribes, government agencies and conservationists.
