Oooh! Neat! So, when does the "high speed" rail station get built there?

Come on man! It's a f***ing desert... there is no fresh water and barren, toxic soil. To build there is an irresponsible waste of resources... that these days are ALL funded by the taxpayers.

Actually the Salton Sea has been filled with water a few times in history. It is believed that the Colorado river has changed it course and filled the basin a few times over the years. It has been named Lake Cahuilla and the old shore lines are plainly visible in certain locations. The Indians have left pottery and other signs along the old shore lines. The latest time was around 1500.

If they want to put a natural freshwater lake back in California, then re-flood Owens Valley up in Inyo-Mono county and tell Los Angeles to call it quits.

Right on! +1000

The Salton Sea was a man-made accident, don’t spend taxpayer money to “save” it.

Illegals are also the cause of Climate Change and the decline in the honeybee population. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a link between the increase in illegals and the problems with Bruce Jenner.

Statistics prove it. When there were fewer illegals, Bruce Jenner was a man. Quod erat demonstratadum.

They need to learn what repent means and pray God sends them the right amount of rain. Only He can. It’s all about His judgment, not “global warming”.

Lots of water in Lake Tahoe and the trip would be all down hill.
