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

Fringe lunatic liberals would rather die of thirst than drill.

Add to that, stopping the run-off which is just going to the sea at the moment and stop protecting that fish which is bait IMHO.

Oh, would it only be so!

The problem with desalination is that it requires a lot of electrical power. Since California has exiled coal and nuclear successfully, and they don’t like transmission lines, they are left with two choices:

Do you want water or do you want lights? You can have either, but never both at the same time.

There are 3 desalination plants planned or under construction in Baja California. They will be selling water to us. It is pathetic that Mexico has its act together in solving this problem while California wastes resources on the “bullet” train fiasco.
