in California water bills are expensive and getting more expensive so for that reason California is very Innovative in harvesting rainwater, right..?

wrong, that’s completely wrong.

in California it is against the law to harvest rainwater and bring it into your house for any reason, including just flushing a toilet, washing clothes or washing the dishes.

you can’t do any of that.

my friend wanted to drill a well in my Coastal County and he could get not get any company that would give him a quote of below $50,000.

not $5,000 but $50,000, for drilling the well, just a residential simple well for a two-person occupancy.

in California there are a lot of roofs with Spanish tile, right?

well that tile can be damaged if you want to put solar up on your roof but in California if you must Mount the panels on anything other than your roof you must pay to bring personnel from the National Geographic survey to certify that you putting posts in the ground will not contribute to added earthquake risk.

you believe that I am joking and I consider that a reasonable reaction.

by the time you get finished with all the permits you will have a binder of paperwork about 2 inches thick.

it was so crazy that SolarCity completely stopped doing any solar installations off of roofs because the paperwork was too insane.
