It is not that expensive to drill to 3,000.

The solutions to Cali’s water problems are readily apparent. Drill down or desalinate. Pretty simple.

It is not that expensive to drill to 3,000. What is expensive is the energy needed to pump the water out.
Awl $55/barrel, about a buck a gallon.
Water $21/AF, about $0.000065 a gallon.

Its the energy cost of pumping the water to the surface that is prohibitive. This is actually a good use for a windmill (one of the original uses of a windmill), since the need to pump water isn’t instantaneous.

Water wells that deep are routine in the Middle East.
