California considers stepping in to manage groundwater basin in farm country_我的网站

一 | 北京时间1月12日上午消息，面对联邦贸易委员会（FTC）的诉讼，高通律师希望与英特尔竞争，建立一个典型的滥用行业主导地位的模式，并以此作为奖金。

二 |     SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California officials on Thursday faulted communities in a stretch of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley for failing to develop a plan to adequately protect groundwater in the often drought-plagued state.The state's water resources board set an April hearing to determine whether the Tulare Lake Subbasin in the heart of California's farm country should be placed on probation. It is the first time the state has made such a move, and the first step in a lengthy process that could end up requiring large farms in the area to report groundwater use and pay fees.California is starting to regulate the pumping of groundwater after years of drought and overpumping left rural residents’ wells dry and led to subsidence, or the sinking of land, in some communities. Both issues have affected the largely agricultural region, which is home to 145,000 people, and stand to worsen absent revisions to the local groundwater plan, officials said.“This is an urgent issue,” said Natalie Stork, an official at the State Water Resources Control Board. “There are urgent impacts from continued overdraft in these basins.”The state enacted a 2014 law tasking communities with forming groundwater agencies and making plans to manage the resource sustainably, starting with the most critically overdrafted basins, including the Tulare Lake Subbasin.Five groundwater agencies joined together come up with a plan for the subbasin where farmers grow cotton, almonds and pistachios. But the plan was one of six that California's Department of Water Resources deemed inadequate this year.Now, the State Water Resources Control Board will hold a hearing April 16 to decide whether to place the Tulare Lake Subbasin on probation. If it does, large pumpers would report their groundwater usage and pay fees while the local agencies draft a new plan for the basin. If they don't, the board could eventually implement its own plan.Many communities rely mainly or solely on groundwater for drinking water and farmers count on it for irrigation, especially in a drought. California muddled through a spell of dry years until a series of winter storms drenched the state and dumped massive amounts of snow in the mountains. When the snow melted, it flowed down to form the reemerging Tulare Lake, which covered vast stretches of farmland with water. California has long tended toward wet and dry periods, but scientists at University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have said they expect climate change will lead to drier dry years and wetter wet years.。但实际结果与预期相反。高通公司的律师们本周对英特尔首席战略官艾莎·埃文斯的提问大多适得其反。此后，律师拒绝了法官邀请埃文斯再次作证的提议。”我们不会邀请她，法官大人。”高通公司的律师安东尼·瑞安告诉美国治安官露西·科尔。埃文斯当场欢呼，在法庭上引起一阵笑声。

三 | 埃文斯负责英特尔的手机芯片部门。

四 | 她反复使用Ryan的问题来重申英特尔的观点，即高通公司不公平地利用智能手机组件市场的技术许可和领导地位来排挤竞争对手。Ryan一再希望只引用Evans的电子邮件和庭审前证词摘要，这是节省庭审时间的常用方法。但埃文斯不同意这些要求。她认为她有权在法庭上大声宣读整个文件，因为背景资料至关重要。

五 | 当瑞安试图打断她的时候，她不理她，继续读着文件。埃文斯出生于塞内加尔，成为芯片行业罕见的黑人女性高管。她在英特尔的使命是获得手机市场的市场份额，并使其与PC市场一样占据主导地位。”瑞安先生，瑞安先生，你说得太快了。“放松点。”她曾经对律师说，“我的母语是法语，数字不太清楚。请慢慢说。英特尔是全球第二大芯片制造商，目前占据计算机服务器芯片市场的90%。该公司在个人电脑市场的收入也占到了80%以上。

六 | AMD是该公司唯一的竞争对手，它指责AMD利用市场优势迫使PC制造商只使用英特尔产品。双方最终在2009年达成协议，英特尔向AMD支付了超过10亿美元。埃文斯认为，高通公司通过独家合同锁定了苹果的合同，这使得它无法与英特尔达成合同。”他们在2016年说我们还有一次机会。但在2014年，我们失去了机会，因为苹果与高通公司签署了一项协议。”我们推迟了两年，这是一次比死亡更好的经历，”她说。高通公司首席执行官Steve Mollenkopft将于周五出庭作证。他曾说，政府没有证据表明，该公司的“无执照、无芯片”政策对行业竞争有害。高通公司还表示，英特尔目前作为苹果唯一的芯片供应商的地位，正是该行业健康竞争的证明。埃文斯称赞高通公司，但她的观点迎合了联邦贸易委员会的诉讼。”他们在技术上很优秀，但不能允许他们从事不公平的商业活动，”她说。
