They need to call that israeli company that does desalinatoin plants, call one of the 4th gen SMR companies and start putting compact plants on the coast.
“start putting compact plants on the coast”
Why bother? So we can end up subsidizing Greater Mexico?
Be plenty of water in California if we had the population of 1970, or even 1980. Hell, even then, the same clowns were screaming DROUGHT! GLOBAL WARMING!
That was 20 million Mexicans ago.
No point in spending more money to solve the problems of the neolithic narco state next door.
Best location for it would be near the Salton Sea, with a view of extracting the lithium from the water, and using the clean water to run a trickle irrigation system for refoliation and agriculture. P.S. the Israelis have expertise in trickle irrigation. It grew out of having the kibbutz kids do the hand watering in the Negev, a small bit of water on each plant (out of an old can or whatever was around), hilled up, and when the row got done, they’d refill the can and start again. Tremendous results, saved tons of water, and the hilling meant the accumulated salts in the soil would get washed down and out.
