Fire Fighting Helicopter with Water Bucket

The Entire West is Burning... Every Year there will be MORE MORE MORE fires... If we Owned Helicopters We Could Get Water from Lakes and PUT OUT the Fires.

Last Year, Two of California's Massive Fires - Were Near Lakes... One Near Lake Tahoe and One Near Lake Almanor... and Both Lakes Had Water in them... We Could Have Put those Fires Out Early... If We Only Had Helicopters.

Tell Your Representatives to Buy Some Helicopters!

FC Said: Then you also need, at minimum, 1,000 trained pilots, and several hundred mechanics.

and I Replied: WONDERFUL! We have a LOT of Soldiers that are NO LONGER fighting the War in Afghanistan... Many of those people are Idle... and Would LOVE to Help their Friends and Neighbors... Put Them to Work! Thanks for Reminding me of the Benefit to our Soldiers!

fire fighting Helicopter dipping a bucket in water

Here's a Helicopter Dipping a Bucket into a River to Drop Water on a Wildfire. We need to Buy 1,000 of these to put out Fires THIS SUMMER! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_firefighting

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_bucket

A helicopter bucket is a specialised bucket suspended on a cable carried by a helicopter to deliver water for aerial firefighting. Each bucket has a release valve on the bottom which is controlled by the helicopter crew. When the helicopter is in position, the crew releases the water to extinguish or suppress the fire below.

Thank You, Joe Biden, for Ending the Pointless War in Afghanistan. Our Soldiers were Wasting their Time fighting a war that cannot be won for people that do not want us there. I feel certain that the Soldiers would rather be home fighting fires that threaten their families and friends... Bring 'em Home and Bring Home the Helicopters too...

Sites Reservoir: Water for Dry Years...

Sites Reservoir is an environmentally beneficial, off-river reservoir that will capture excess water from major storms and save it for drier periods, helping California’s farms, businesses and cities continue to supply reliable water when other sources are low.

On a Related Subject...

a Post of Mine Was Deleted from This Blog

because I Dared to Ask the FORBIDDEN QUESTION:

"Why do we allow fresh water from the

Sacramento River to flow into the Ocean?"

after all...

We Pump the Colorado River Dry before it Gets to the Ocean in Mexico... and No One Complains About THAT!

all the water from the Colorado River is used to Drink, Water Crops, Fill Swimming Pools, Shower, Water Animals and Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks Beverage...

SO... Someone Reported My Question to Google

and That Post was Deleted...

WE MUST ALLOW NO QUESTIONS!

OBEY THE ECOLOGY NUTS!

NO THINKING!

Sacramento River Satellite Photo Google Maps - Delta - 2021 ~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~ and another response:
I say leave Nature ALONE but cut down on human reproduction to reach for a better, more equitable, balance. Humans have already altered, disrupted and destroyed far too much on the planet! So much in fact, we’re causing thousands of species of animals, plants and insects to go extinct by the day! Enough is enough! This Central Valley used to be home to deer, antelope, bear, and thousands of other species of both animals and plants. Now they are crowed out by humans for growing endless mono-crops for human a cattle feed and housing. Its selfish, greedy and insane. And not just here, the whole Earth is being similarly destroy for human USE and its the only home we have in the Universe! All because of not having the foresight to control our own f’g numbers!

Of course, power hungry world and church leaders with politicians leading the way, like more and more people to fill their coffers!!
back to the story now in progress: California Rice Farmers Pump Water from The Thermalito Afterbay Downstream from the Oroville Dam to Water Their Crops. This Year the Oroville Dam is at Historic Record Low Water Levels. So Low that the Hydro Electric Power Generating Station was TURNED OFF...

What IF? Would Pumping all that water out of the River and Into Fields that are Growing Crops Change the Climate of California's Central Valley? In the Summer, all that water would evaporate and then fall as rain when those clouds meet the Sierra Nevada Mountains... In General, the Wind Flows from West to East... WE NEED RAIN... 

The Objection to Pumping the Sacramento River Dry is That Salmon Need the Water to Survive... and They Would Go Extinct... In That One River... Other Rivers, Like The Klamath and The Columbia and Rivers in Canada and Alaska would NOT Be Changed... and The Salmon Would Continue to Survive There... 

and... What IF Salmon Became Extinct? The Drought is The Western USA Is Putting Salmon in the Klamath River in Danger Right Now... Even With The Dams being Removed... 

It's Entirely Possible That Salmon are Not Important... 

Protest Sign Says:
Kapow! Un Dam the Klamath River

The San Francisco Bay would Become Salt Water flowing In under the Golden Gate Bridge... Currently it has a Mixture of Salt Water and Fresh Water... 

That's Surprising because there are Salt Harvesting Businesses Near San Jose... They Just Let the Bay water Evaporate and Collect the Remaining Salt...

Here is a Post on that same subject that was NOT Deleted on Facebook... "I Wonder Why Fresh Water from The Sacramento River Flows into the Ocean? After All, The Colorado River is Pumped Dry.

We are Having a Drought Here in California... This Water COULD be used to Grow Crops, Water Livestock, Take Showers or Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... But NO... It Flows Out into The Ocean at San Francisco... "

Odd Building in the Middle of the Sacramento River near Downtown - SACRAMENTO RIVER WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE - and - Sonya Sophia: Tapping Into Divine Purpose Seminar - and - Photos of the Tower Bridge

The new Sacramento Intake Structure had two main functional requirements—to supply water at a capacity of 160 million gallons per day and to ensure the associated fish screens would meet current regulatory agency requirements. The design team created a structure that engaged the community and gave Sacramento a new river landmark. The structure, an iconic symbol that represents Sacramento’s relationship with its rivers, has won numerous design awards.

INTENTION: We live in an evolving universe, in an orgasmic nuclear dance of consciousness. Everything is changing, evolving, transforming. Wise men and women throughout history have tried to define the nature of the reality in which they found themselves. Myriad models have existed- most have fallen into the historical garbage heap, others cling by threads. We, these generations, are creating a new model. Is it all figured out and defined? No. Do we know some of the elements of what this future model might look like? Yes.

The primary intention of the Conscious Life Expo Conference and Exposition is to participate in the conscious co-creation of a new world, a world based on new paradigms in science, in spirituality, in longevity, in local and global community, in relationship, in health and well-being.  

And while we co-create this new wholistic model through our authentic self expression, we also participate in a powerful and passionate celebration of life and love. The Expo is a three-day gathering of the tribes, a three-day celebration of evolution and consciousness and a three-day brainstorming session on who we are, where we are and where we are going.

Any questions? Call our toll-free number 1-800-367-5777 Thank you and we hope to see you at the Expo!

A Christian Man I Knew Said: "You Can't Find What You're Looking for by Climbing a Mountain or Taking Drugs. The Only Way is Jesus." What he Failed to Consider was Climbing a Mountain AND taking Drugs at the Same Time! I went to Yosemite and Took LSD and Marijuana and I'm Glad I Did... We Hiked to the Top of Yosemite Falls and Up There... The Entire Mountain Was Dancing... Big Fun!
