Comment on Judge green-lights water lawsuit by Richard Lamb

Perhaps the Excelon nuclear plant could build a desalination plant and pump water for it’s own purposes. Coastal habitats and economies that are based on fresh water flowing into our estuaries shouldn’t be at risk. That is intentionally self serving!!!

Comment on Victoria Advocate Editorials Dismiss Aransas County Concerns About Freshwater by Hondo Lane

Hondo Lane — Mon, 10 May 2010 12:36:31 +0000

At what point in time does the “M” in GBWM equal the “E” in VEDC? Sound management considers economic impacts, not necessarily economic profits, in its analysis of alternives for the use of resources. Apparently the burg of Victoria values a short-signted jobs project more than the value of a long-term solution to a critical issue.

Science is NOT going to rear its head in Victoria and take away much needed economic improvements. We’ll soon see if they can “snap up” water that doesn’t belong to them for their own little community improvement project.

Comment on Texans Fight Over Birds, Water Rights by Richard Lamb

Richard Lamb — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 14:15:03 +0000

This lawsuit if successful will help ensure the status quo which has been beneficial to our coastal estuaries which have enabled the endangered whooping cranes to come back from the brink of extinction. To remove fresh water will endanger our successful ecosytems and threaten our coastal economies that definitely rely on tourism for fishing, bird watching, and seafood.

Comment on What is your response to someone who says: “Let the cranes die. We need the water more than the birds”? by Robert Hamilton

The solution is to open Cedar Bayou. That would fix a lot of things for everyone.

Comment on What is your response to someone who says: “Let the cranes die. We need the water more than the birds”? by Ron Outen, TAP

Critics cannot can’t fairly dismiss the TAP lawsuit with a “treehugger” label. Do these TAP members really look like tree huggers?

TAP members include a broad cross-section of Texans and others– conservative and liberal, young and old. The lawsuit is about protecting a coastal ecosystem that lots of good people depend on, including fishermen from throughout Texas. The Guadalupe River should be managed for the benefit of all Texans, including those who live and make a living at the lower end of it. That will save the whooping cranes and the bays for all to enjoy. It’s just plain wrong to over-allocate River diversions to the detriment of downstream users, both cranes and humans.
