Mission Statement/Method/RSS Update

Well I've added about 10 audio files to the RSS feed: http://H2Opodcast.com/rss.xml
Please take this feed and insert it into any of a number of free aggragators available on the internet so you can receive any new audio on http://H2Opodcast.com via automatic and free subscription. If you have questions please visit: http://h2opodcast.com/listen.html

I've also added something that should have been added from the first day: A Mission Statement and Method. But truthfully it would have been revised from the start. I think it was good that I didn't do it until now as I think I'm pretty firm in my resolve to help those that have important messages on Water and Enviromental Issues say them via the http://H2Opodcast.com project.

"Subsidy Gravy Train" by Lloyd Carter

"Subsidy Gravy Train" by Lloyd Carter


http://h2opodcast.com/thb.html

In his second installment of "Tales of the Hydraulic Brotherhood" California writer and water expert Lloyd Carter talks about the enormous water and crop subsidies flowing in disproportionate amounts to huge factories in the field in Central California's irrigation country. While California big agribusiness operations hide behind the "family farmer" label, they continue to rake in half a billion dollars a year in taxpayer money, according to reports by the Environmental Working Group. Surprisingly, conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, also favor major reform of the farm and water subsidy system now in place.

In a followup Lloyd Carter states, "the Bush administraton is the process of revising the ESA regulations. Environmental groups got ahold of the drafts and leaked them to the media. The regs would substantially gut key aspects of the act. This could definitely impact the attempt to restore the San Joaquin River in California, which used to be California's second largest river.
