California spends $178 million per fish to bring back salmon
Monica Showalter
In California, the water wars are continuing to boil.
Leftie greenies recently hailed the return of ... five ... salmon, swimming upstream to the San Joaquin river to spawn. Paradise restored! In water-starved California, that was quite an achievement, given that each salmon required 50,000 gallons of water to get the job done, coming at a price tag of $890 million at the low end and $2 billion at the high. And that water came out of the hides of California's farmers, who got very little of the water they were promised, and paid for, as a result. That's some use of resources to get those five salmon to swim upstream.
...Taking the conservative cost estimate, each of the five fish caught cost taxpayers and water users $178,000,000.....
