The Hubble Space Telescope found evidence that our universe consists of at least two trillion galaxies! Wow! This means that the people promoting the Green New Deal (essentially, Wall Street) are not only greedy, but also completely off their rocker! Because we are not living in a closed system of the planet Earth, but we are an integral part of this incredible universe! To venture into that great beyond, requires nuclear fusion rockets in space, and an Earth civilization of development, science, and physical productivity, not energy poverty. As Xi Jinping said to the scientists and engineers of the recent lunar mission: “Exploring the vast universe is the common dream of all of mankind!”
Let’s realize that beautiful dream!

A Note To Readers
The vision and the determination to bring the dream expressed by the quote above into actual existence was the character of those who built the Central Valley Project, Hoover Dam, the Tennessee Valley Authority and to put a man on the Moon. China’s recent accomplishment of being the first nation to land a rover on the far side of the Moon demonstrates that that idea is alive and well today.
The universe is there for us to discover its secrets and to bring it more and more under the civilizing processes of mankind’s powers.
That will definitely not be done by the Democrats “Green New Deal,” which is an insult to the great and real New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Whereas Roosevelt built that Central Valley Project and the Tennessee Valley Project and completed the building of Hoover Dam, all the “Green New Deal” will give us is de-industrialization, inadequate energy supplies to even run the country, poverty and depopulation. The Feature this week focuses on that abomination promoted by that virtual child Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
While the President has not yet put forward a serious infrastructure building policy, but he has demanded that Governor Newsom return $3.5 billion of federal funds given to California’s disaster of a high-speed rail project. Below, in this week’s report, we take a look at the disaster that is the California high-speed rail project. While this specific project, I think, should just be shut-down, abandoned, and forgotten, that does not mean that the nation should neglect any longer the real need for a nation-wide high-speed rail system. My report on that topic this week includes: First, a short report contrasting China’s high-speed system to the U.S. no system. Then, second, why the California project should be shut-down; and finally, what a real nation-wide project should look like.
The Rest of This Week’s Report
We begin with reports on the end of the California drought, the snowpack and related developments. As always, stating that the drought is over must include the warning that this is California and the drought will return.
Oroville Dam is ready to use the new rebuilt spillway, just in time for the more precipitation expected in the next days ahead.
I include this week a link to a lecture by Dr. Brad Udall on the crisis of the Colorado River, which provides a detailed picture of the near two decades of drought that now threatens the water supply of 40 million people of the Southwest.
