Screw LA. Leave our water alone. Put in the damn desalination plant you idiots. You morons spend piles of money to give free s^^t to illegals but keep voting down the desalination plant.

LA is in a desert with NO WATER in the area. Put in the damn plant and leave the north state the hell alone!

No wonder everyone who can is leaving this idiot run state.

It’s not like the central coast up to Mendocino is a lush oasis with plentiful water.

When I put in my waterline for my property, I used 1 1/2 inch pvc. If had to dig a ditch, cut and connect pipe, etc., the labor was the same for that as for 3/4 inch. The pipe cost a little more, but I have flow everywhere!

Same for the thinking on the CA water tunnel.

But Nuke powered desalinization would be great. No tunnels needed, no stealing from NorCal, ....

Hilarious that they are playing the “climate change” card to try to get the project past environmentalists.

Liars trying to con liars.

May the biggest liar win!

Indeed they have turned down many requests to build desalination plants because they block their view of the ocean.
They may die of thirst but by God they have a view.

Forget Jim it’s California

It would take more than 1, most likely 6. Each can produce 50 million gallons of water a day through osmosis.

"Did it occur to anyone how long this is going to take...?"

This is California we're talking about, here.
The mere down payment will likely be more than $1.5 TRILLION -
AND it will take ETERNITY to complete - it will NEVER be done - Ever.

The democrats will just dump more water from the reservoirs to the ocean instead saving it for future droughts.
