The view is more important than desalination plant.
water tunnel
“When Gov. Gavin Newsom took office in 2019, he ordered water officials to scrap the existing plan and start over. With one tunnel, the new proposal moves less water and aims to reduce harms to the environment. But most critics say the new route will still harm endangered species like salmon and people who rely on the water in the north.”
These people cannot even manage water.
Oh, goody! A long tunnel in Earthquake central.
Did it occur to anyone how long this is going to take by the time they are done haggling over contractors, confiscating land, figuring out how to pay for it, underestimating how much it’s going to cost, getting the raw materials, and doing the actual work with government paid contractors?
The new Peace Bridge would be finished before this boondoggle will be.
I thought they hated pipelines
“This project is unlikely to be decided on its technical merits.”
Duh.
L
And now they decide to propose ideas to address water shortages that have been going on for decades?
Or they could build dams to capture the Sierra runoff.
But this is CA we’re talking about
What’s old is new.
Remember the range wars? Cattle farmers vs. sheep herders
And farmers vs. ranchers
Ronald Reagan apparently did not originate this, but he really nailed it when he said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.”
Kalifornia passed a massive levy a bunch of years ago to fund new water storage reservoirs across the state to provide water. NOT A SINGLE project touted in the levy campaign has had a single shovel full of dirt turned.
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.
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
The democrats will just dump more water from the reservoirs to the ocean instead saving it for future droughts.
