I stand by what I said last April: Prop 4 will be a big economic boondoggle.
I called out librulz (sic) last year October for supporting it while ignoring that it was not only an economic boondoggle but environmentally destructive.
But yet, here's the Observer, running a piece about how we should, even if the science ain't there yet, find a way to use produced water. Beyond the fact that the science may never totally be there, this encourages fracking, even having the rest of us subsidizing it, which of course boosts the climate crisis.
Sadly, but unsurprisingly, they're not alone. The Sierra Club said vote yes, including supporting it at Lege testimony. (Sadly, a real environmental org like Center for Biological Diversity wasn't there.) That merited another callout.
Even worse, the Tex-ass Green Party supported it, which led to yet another callout, along with me proclaiming myself an independent leftist at the state as well as national level. As of now, on the three Greens on the state ballot on statewide races, I'll only be supporting one. (It's also sad they got a candidate for lite guv, not guv, and also, no RRC candidate. I do get the ballot fees; maybe next year's Lege will approve what was considered in 2025 and let them be recycled to party coffers.)
And, this once again shows that while the Observer may be left-librul, it's not leftist.
