Potential hiccup: isn't California in a water crisis? So, upstream of all of this is something like, "Dealing with foreign land-owners who are buying up all the water rights on the West Coast in order to irrigate their animal feed alfalfa farms (say that 5 times fast)." Your fire management issue just became an international concern.

Remember, our entry into the Pacific Theater of WWII was predicated on a trade embargo. ...But in general, I do agree that we shouldn't be selling out American resources for foreign countries at our loss.
