In the1960's the Left had a saying, “By any means necessary".
In this case the Progressives are trying to stop the use of seawater to cool power plants.
"The issue mainly concerns small animals and microorganisms. Large members of the animal kingdom, Vincent included, are prevented from entering the plants by screens. He survived in a catch basin. But fish can die while trapped against these barriers. Anything smaller than the openings in the screens, including millions of tiny fish larvae, enters the power plants and dies.
Federal rules have banned new plants from drawing in seawater for so-called "once-through" cooling systems. Now the state water board wants to apply this rule to the 19 existing plants dotting the coast from Eureka to San Diego.
The board's proposal would allow owners up to a dozen years to comply and contains special provisions for nuclear-plant safety issues and changes that might put the state's power supply at risk. But in most cases, it would require plants to supplant seawater pipes with massive cooling towers that recycle water, or to use air-cooling platforms."
The practical results of these new regulations? Less water. More expensive water. More jobs lost. Poorer families. Why do Progressives want to harm families and our economy?
