Gee, I wonder why Trump's Interior Secretary wants to drain San Francisco's Hetch Hetchy Reservoir

WSJ reports:

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is interested in restoring the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park to its natural state after more than 100 years of providing water to the people of San Francisco and some suburbs. ... While San Francisco officials weren’t immediately available for comment, they have steadfastly opposed the proposal in the past. City residents in 2012 voted down a measure to study the idea, with 77% voting against it.

This is the perfect issue to allow the Trump administration to illustrate the hypocrisy of Left Coast environmentalists: they are willing to inconvenience the rest of the world to save the environment, but they will fight to the death any effort to drain the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and restore the valley to it pristine state. In so doing, these so-called environmentalists defend one of the greatest environmental crimes of all time, about which John Muir himself, the patron saint of the environmental movement, wrote:

In these ravaging money-mad days monopolizing San Francisco capitalists are now doing their best to destroy the Yosemite Park, the most wonderful of all our great mountain national parks. Beginning on the Tuolumne side, they are trying with a lot of sinful ingenuity to get the Government's permission to dam and destroy the Hetch-Hetchy Valley for a reservoir, simply that comparatively private gain may be made out of universal public loss ...

The opportunity to help all those San Francisco Democrats perish of thirst, especially in the name of John Muir and environmentalism, is just too good to pass up.
