I looked up and did the conversions because I had no idea what a foot acre was. I thought other folks would be interested as well. I expressed no opinion on whether it was a worthwhile endeavor one way or another.
I'm personally not a fan of the 1.1 trillion gallons used for almonds while they pull water off restaurant tables (yeah, that'll work), but I didn't think that had any place here either.
BTW I'm sorry for my tone, I can see you were trying to contribute to the discussion. But as you can guess, this is an issue I care about and I have felt quite frustrated with simplistic comaprisons like gallons-per-fish that make for eye-catching statistics but don't really aid understanding of the situation. I didn't mean to suggest you were being dishonest and am sorry that I went off on you as I did.
The population of this fish hasn't fallen to 6. This is about 6 instances of a particular fish, not the final 6 instances. I am interested in the outrage over wind power in California. The Condor is killed by windmills, yet the environmentalists keep demanding windmills. Environmental groups like the Sierra Club would bulldoze a city to save a endangered rat but say nothing about the danger of windmills.
