Welcome the Chickens:
California is in a state of drought. Water, always an issue in the U. S.'s most overpopulated state, is in short supply in the Golden State. Gov. Schwarzenegger has declared an official drought. The next step is rationing. (See The New York Times story.)
Schwarzenegger has been unusual as a Republican, being one of the few during the Bush administration to buck the president's vision of the world as being in a perfect state of harmony. The governor has been calling for tougher standards on global warming for several years, while Bush has been living in a cocoon.
California, with a population of nearly 40 million, has had water problems for decades. It simply does not have enough to support the population and its industries, which includes farming. In addition, the Colorado River basin, which supplies some of California's water, has been in a protracted state of drought, which is likely to continue into the foreseeable future.
