a separate CAL would have plenty of drinking water. International law on sharing Rivers on the boundary (Colorado) would apply. Carlsbad opened a deal plant 2 years ago. Build 9 more on the coast. LA MWD has a good supply for LA County NorCal has plenty of water. Send more south.
The reason Cal won’t succeed is it’s a dumb idea. They threw a hissy fit when Trump was elected and hired Holder’s firm to sue Trump every time he sneezed. He won’t be president after 24.

How fast do you think those international courts will be? And if they rule in favor of The People’s Republic of California, do they have a marshal’s service or something to enforce their order? I’m thinking LA might get a bit dry sorting that out. Oh, and they might be drying out under rolling brownouts.
Yes, it’s a dumb idea, but I think dumb should hurt, especially wilful dumb.
