“California’s real concern is not merely to “keep the lights on” or prevent forest fires. Our future is not akin to the legendary boy who placed his finger in the dike to temporarily prevent disaster. Rather, as the nation and the world move into the space-faring age, California must look to dramatically increase its energy production and usage, per-capita and per-square kilometer. This will require a change in the culture, a return to the human optimism and can-do outlook of the Kennedy Apollo era.
“This will also require a national change in outlook and policy. The usury, the financial looting and the dead-end murderous green mentality must go. In California, PG&E must be returned to an orientation of producing abundant inexpensive electricity, utilizing the most advanced technologies, including nuclear, modular nuclear and eventual fusion energy approaches. In his “Four New Laws” Lyndon LaRouche specifies the precise measures, and the thinking behind them, which are now required. In his proposal for a “New Bretton Woods System,” LaRouche defines the economic methodology necessary to create cooperative relations among nations that will make rapid increases in human productivity a cornerstone for the world economy.
“The current PG&E debacle denotes the lawful end of a failed paradigm. The new paradigm is awaiting our intervention.”

A Note To Readers
We do hope the intensity of the crisis that has ripped through the state for the past month is now over. And it appears that we are back to our never ending California Water Wars. More on that below.
But first to note that the article I wrote last week on California fires and electricity, and was the only item in this report last week, has been published in the November 15, 2019 issue of Executive Intelligence Review. Here is a link to the article:
In the Rest of This Week’s Report:
It begins with the U.S. Drought Monitor. To note: The portion of the state that falls under the classification “Abnormally Dry” increased over the past week from 18% to 81%.
Two rounds of the never ending “California Water Wars” are reported on this week. Round 1 is, “In January Water Use in California Changes Dramatically, which is the beginning of the implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, signed into law in 2014. That act will set new limits on how much groundwater can be pumped out of wells. It is forecast that the law may result in as much as one million agricultural land being fallowed.
The final section of this weeks report is, “Science, Technology, Infrastructure and Some Truth About CO2,” which includes an array of articles on the topic.
