"It’s still energy intensive, but build a couple Gen4 nuke plants and that problem goes away too. Billions in California are wasted on complete bullshit. This could be done in five minutes with competent leadership."

Agreed. Newly emerging small nuke tech can provide local energy in some areas. Since the socialists took over Cali, that won't happen, neither will desalination plants for water. However, they're fine with increasing the welfare roles for all (legal or not) and turning out major cities into toilets.

And no, I can't leave Cali due to family reasons. I was ready to move to Reno years ago, but things change. Plus, there are millions of conservatives here that have jobs and can't just pack up and leave. I'm so sick of people on the Web telling me and others to just leave.

I’m in the same, er, boat.

Ex-wife has my kids. Youngest just turned 12. I’m here for at least 6 more years.

Grim stuff. But we do have some FReepers around!!!
