Lake Oroville water levels expected to fall so low, hydro-power plant may shut down

That’s cuz they drained it, like Folsom dame and all the other lakes. Then they gonna light Cali on fire again with their D.E.Ws

I use this backcountry hunting, works great!

Ya big fire breakout on high way 70 @ PGE pulga power dam....they just shut off the power ...fire to north ..the big fire that ran from Quincy to berry creek last year is a stone's throw from house....near Boyle's ravine

If you are a California liberal and are scared do not move to a Red State. We do not want you! You are not welcome and you will know immediately that you aren't welcome! Move to some other commie state!

I'm the county above butte...which is plumas county....plumas county is actually the water shed that feeds all of California.....

Fresh springs are still pumping water out...but ya PGE who owns the feather river and controls all of our water in plumas county ...opened everything up.....every single power dam was let open..
I'm telling ya people are pissed as shit up here ..the USDA fire dept is pissed ...everyone is pissed at PGE

Astute observation and apropo analyses

Actually to be fair pge repaired three power dams along the feather river during the non wet winter we had

2 of the dams had barges with cranes on them....and diving teams and welding equipment

It will continue to dry up now unfortunately.

All the water is being diverted to Area-51 to make ice cream for the K5 alien hybrid children. Eventually, these K5 alien hybrid children will be placed with unsuspecting human parents through adoption and foster care programs.

On weekends, you will see them congregating at Chuck E Cheeses locations throughout the Western United States. They are being secretly trained to get straight As and win spelling bees. In addition to that, they are using the machines (alien technology) at Chuck E Cheeses to train them how to shoot, punch, kick, drive, fly, and operate tactically.

During the Holiday Season, you can often see them riding in shopping carts bossing their human parents around inside toy sections throughout Malls in America. Scientists believe that the toys that they are amassing as a group, could theoretically be used to mount an invasion and takeover of planet Earth.

Plug in those electric cars NOW What a bunch of idiots.

I remember those idiots drained all the water too.

I hearing a lot of aircraft over Chico. Evidently private drones are hampering them and their air assault. SMH

Funny how 2 years ago, it was about to burst. It is physically impossible for the people to use that much water in 2 years.

The progressive white females that sit on the water board let it all out.

Wow good 2 know.... ridiculous

LMAO. That’s the spirit. I like your style.

of course there wiil big plant s have bakup diesel generators

Wow!

Unbelievable!

Thanks for the information.

Good short interview here for anyone looking for historical perspective.

The Director of the Water Resources Program at the University of New Mexico has written several books. His latest is titled 'Science Be Dammed: How Ignoring Inconvenient Science Drained the Colorado River'.

If you're only interested in how he explains that ^ title start at 3:40. Good interview all the way through.

That's a Lake Mead story but it should be familiar to Californians.

BTW Oroville sits on the western edge of the Sierra's and provides 60% of the water for Californian's. This last year the snowmelt was but a fraction of normal and by mid-May all gone.

What didn't evaporate was sponged up by the critically dry ground before it reached the creeks to reach the rivers to reach the Oroville reservoir. That's the starting point for 2021 on Oroville's water level.

Thanks for the sobering comment! I didn't realize it was all that dry, it wasn't a super rainy season on the Oregon Coast, but I it wasn't all that wet.....

I live here in Gold Country just north of Folsom Lake and 5 miles from the American River. Iv'e done my share of sluicing and panning and it is quite addictive.

As a conservative it boils my blood on how this state is mismanaged. The area is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Swimming in the Yuba River is most incredible. I grew up in the gold mining town of Nevada City, and have been in many abandoned mines and diggin's. It really is truly good living here, except for the droughts and commies in Sacramento.

Hi! So did I! Summers only, growing up. Love Love Love swimming in the South Fork of the Yuba because it's so warm and green and beautiful!

I grew up swimming in the North Fork at Goodyear's Bar, to be exact. If you are a local you know of it--close to Downieville.


I lived in Grass Valley for 6 years and 2 years in Nevada City! I loved it there!

Thanks for contributing your comment!

I worked all over and vacationed all over in those counties, just loved the whole area too, except for the Commies in Sacramento. Sacramento is just bizarre, always hated it

I lived in Sacramento, too, for 3+ years

I loved the plants and the climate!

except I remember more than one night of aerial spraying
