Conservatives will do anything to avoid building trains.

Or to curtail big business. Somehow the whole pollution and energy use thing is the consumers onus.

It's almost never big business or billionaires with private jets that are called upon to be more frugal.

Water conservation. 80% of water use in CA is agricultural, i.e., Big Ag. Consumers are told to take 60 second ahowers, while water intensive crops like alfalfa are grown on land with senior water rights sold to foreign interests like Saudi and UAE who aren't stupid and have money. The state has a water crisis because it won't involve the heaviest abusers in the solution.

Conserving energy?
