Instead of investing over a hundred billion on the high speed rail which is guaranteed to lose money, California should be investing in DESALINATION PLANTS.

I agree build desalination plants, send some of the more water intensive crops to more appropriate places, and get rid of several million illegals.

We live in a small mountain community which sends 2 million gallons of semi-treated sewage water off the mountain to a desert alfalfa farm. Almost $400,000 has been spent on studies about converting that waste water to potable water.

So typical of government wisdom, the money was spent on studies instead of installing the equipment to actually convert the waste water to potable water. So now, we will have to cut consumption because government is incapable of hiring people who can think ahead and avoid such nonsense.

The high speed rail is his way of paying back the unions for all the votes now I wonder what jobs he will create with the water problem developing?.

Democrats are people who believe using less foreign oil without producing it domestically will make us oil independent, so it’s no wonder why they would bypass plans for producing water in favor of just using less. By their calculus, we can become 100% less water dependent if we just stop it use entirely.
