Phil Isenberg, head of California’s Delta Stewardship Council, gets to the heart of the matter in the discussion of the possibility that California needs more water storage capability: The council agrees with Assemblyman Logue that water storage is a critical component of any solution to meet the state’s water supply and environmental n

There’s this old joke. Two economists are walking down the street when one points to the ground and says, “Look, a ten dollar bill!” The second economist replies, “That’s crazy. If that was a ten dollar bill someone would have picked it up already.” I love it because there’s a really interesting dynamic in
