From: “The Battle Before Us”
A Note To Readers
The quote above is from the article, “The Battle Before Us,” by my colleague Susan Kokinda, of which extended excerpts can be found in our “Feature” this week.
And in this week’s report:
The U.S. Drought Monitor this week shows a jump upwards of the drought intensity for California. And the new desalination plant planned for Huntington Beach takes another step forward. It has only been since 1995 that the planning began for it.

The “New Green Deal” is Still a Fraud, and the latest model, released on July 29 by heavily MIT-credentialed engineers from “Rewiring America,” appears to be trying to go up against the LaRouche Political Action Committee’s global productive jobs program released in May. The title of this new version is “Mobilizing for a Zero Carbon America: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, and More Jobs — A Jobs and Employment Study Report.”
The report concludes with the Feature as introduced above.
