I'll just go ahead and give the fight to the Socialist Dems, as it's pretty much a 100% certainty the republican pussies will fold before the fight even starts... both political parties have deep tentacles plucking funds from throughout the 'green' movement.
California Dems vs. Congressional Republicans over Endangered Species Act
by Adelle Nazarian, 17 Apr 20
California Democrats are readying themselves to battle Republicans in Congress over potential attempts to roll back regulations under the Endangered Species Act.
Last month, the Oroville Dam’s spillway malfunctioned, sending gallons of water rushing through an area affecting nearly 200,000 residents. The damage — beyond the spillway itself — is estimated to be in the millions.
However, certain U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regulations under the Act, which protects endangered species like the 3-inch Delta smelt, and which require property owners to consult with the agency before carrying out construction or repairs, could present roadblocks to fixing the damages.
According to the San Bernardino Sun, “Section 7 consultations” specifically allow wildlife agencies to determine how projects are carried out in order to prevent harm to protected species.
Last month, congressional Republicans took aim at the Endangered Species Act because it could prevent necessary projects from taking place — and also, possibly, because of longstanding grievances over the diversion of water from farms to the Delta smelt because of the Act.
California Democrats are now pushing back with a state bill that would prevent federal changes from affecting the protection of endangered wildlife at the state level.
