We have a desalination plant here in Carlsbad, built and operated by the same company. It is located right on the coast at a site very similar to the one proposed for Huntington Beach. Reverse osmosis is not a dangerous process, so there is no appreciable risk to the public even if it should flood. Ignore the staff and build the plant. The term “exponentially” is a giveaway that the staff is comprised of a bunch of poorly educated lefty kids. Tell us, boys and girls, exactly what is that exponent and how was it derived?
The Israelis have desal down to an art form they can make water cheaper and in larger quantities than the North Texas council of governments can deliver city water to DFW. 55 cents per meter cube is only $2.08 for a thousands gallons how water is sold in dfw. The retail rate for city water is $4.8 for the first 7,000 gal and $6.60 from 7K to 20K it goes up astronomically above 20K gal a month that’s just for fresh water if you are tied to city sewage then $7.10 additional for the first 8,000 gallons used.
Israel blows those numbers out of the water using Mediterranean seawaterand imported natural gas for fuel. America with local cheap NG should be even cheaper if the greens and commies get the F out of the way.

Good info. I thought there was a desalinization plant somewhere here in SoCal. Thanks.
And here it is:

50 million gallons per day.

Sure would be nice if that were true. Unfortunately they are FAR SMARTER than our side - otherwise they wouldn’t keep beating us.
