Let them shrivel up, it's karma for the climate commies. Oh no, there is no water here, Imsuppose we should totally build here and worry about the water later!

I imagine it is related to the extra water required for bees to start swimming lessons.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Desalinated water is about 200x more expensive than surface water. This is the equivalent of asking why Arizonans don't power their air conditioners by having day laborers ride bicycle generators. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: If only they had a giant body of water next to them and maeans for abundant clean energy by splitting atoms to desalinate it. That might relive their water and power issues all at once. At some point we are going to have to cut California off the Colorado river and force the to do this since inland states don't have that option. Desalinated water is about 200x more expensive than surface water. This is the equivalent of asking why Arizonans don't power their air conditioners by having day laborers ride bicycle generators. If people in Arizona are being told to stop using their air conditioners because there’s not enough power, then the day laborer on bicycle generators is a fair question. Same with CA and desalination plants. Yes, it’s more expensive, but would you rather pay more or be forced to go without? |

It's a false binary, before that comes conservation, reuse, etc. Just like Arizonans don't keep their houses at 55°. |

10 years too late. Those in charge of the water have known for over a decade that SoCal uses more water than they could save/find
It's a known fact that white man settled and built California up during a rare and short wet period. This has been predicted probably for 50+ years. The lakes, the aqua ducts, the purchased water rights in CO are just bandaids on an arterial bleed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 10 years ago i was part of a team that was proposing to build 25 combined cycles and piggyback desal plants to each of them up the coast of california. Idiot environmental groups through a fit about a 60' diameter hot brine discharge that sealife always.... swims around. They mothballed that and continued to run out of date power systems and pull from the snowpack up north for water. 60 foot diameter?

You have a cite for that? My county gets a chunk of it's water from a desal plant and when it went online there wasn't really any noticeable increase in our water bills. It costs < 0.7 cents to produce a gallon of fresh water at the Carlsbad desal plant according to info at the link. https://www.carlsbaddesal.com/desal-101.html |

“1200 year drought” is code for “we built all our water infrastructure during an abnormally wet 100 years and now there are a shitload of people and farms here, but we aren’t going to build any dams or desal plants to deal with it so eat shit”

Quote HistoryQuoted: Climate change excuse and not gross mismanagement possibly coupled with bad luck? You decide! It must be so easy to have that scape goat in your back pocket at all times. Powerful hurricane? Fossil fuels bad Cold in the south? Fossil fuels bad! Warm in the north? Fossil fuels bad!! Fires? Fossil fuels bad!!! Water shortage? FOSSIL FUELS BAD!!!! That's why they came up with "climate change". Hard to blame global cooling when it's hot, or global warming when it's cold. They had 40+ years where all of their predictions were extremely wrong. Now no matter what happens, CLIMATE CHANGE! Even heart attacks. |

This is due to the State's abject failure to provide for water storage. It has nothing to do with use or over use.
When we last went thru this crap, grey water recovery and use was actually illegal and still is. That is, you could not use your laundry rinse water or shower drain water for your lawn. |

Kicking out all the illegals would fix a shitload of problems basically over night,
Californias drought, mostly fixed by removing millions instantly Energy costs / rolling blackouts, dropped / fixed by removing millions of users. Gas prices, dropped by removing millions of users. Housing, 10 million homes, and apartments suddenly empty State / federal budgets saving billions instantly from removing millions off benefits Food costs, drop, millions of eaters gone. Medical costs, cut biggly / waiting times shorter, as millions who don’t pay med bills gone / not wasting resources Crime / identity theft / violent crime / drunk driving, drop about 25% instantly, less prisoners to feed / care for saving billions.
