Reality sucks
If CA really gave a sh*t they’d stop giving out building permits. But that’ll never happen.
It’s perpetual drought no matter how much it rains.
It’s a vehicle for control, like global warming scam and Covid hysteria.
Too many illegals taking showers. 1 million illegals using 10 gallons a day each is now much?
What happened to that idea of reclaiming sewage water?
“Too many illegals taking showers. 1 million illegals using 10 gallons a day each is now much?”
Unfortunately they will say too much water being used to grow food.
It’s a totalitarian tool.
If there really were drought issues, planning and engineering if needed would solve the problem completely.
But it is a manufactured crisis.
California grabbed most of the Colorado water rights,. They dried Owens lake, Mono lake and other lakes and rivers on the east side of the Sierras. Destroyed Hetch-Hetchy valley. And caused many more disasters.
They need to find real solution!
Hint - there is a Pacific ocean next to California.
The desalinization methods are quite sophisticated now.
But the idiots there are all afraid of releasing salty water into the ocean!!!
The Israelis have the technology if anyone does.
I keep hearing about tapping the Mississippi and aquaducting enough to top off the Colorado, Lake Powell and Lake Mead. I guess another TVA will be helpful during the coming depression.
We still have a couple gallons in Tahoe on the NV side. Butt it wont be cheap. Never mind. We’ll keep it flowing to Pyramid Lake NV. 😃👍
It’s so stupid. All the money wasted on the green energy BS should be going to desalination tech. Think of how much good that would do.
How about desalination plants and nuclear power?
Meanwhile, here in IL, it seems we have been getting more rain than sun.
It also seems no matter how much rain or snow in the mountains CA gets, they are always in a drought.
There has been talk here about starting up the Reactors, however, the idea of building Desalinization plants has been shot down by the enviroweenies
Funny how the people in Northern California are supposed to ration water all while the lawns and golf courses of Southern California are kept lush and green. And don’t get me started on their swimming pools!
At least 30-50% of California state is desert. SoCal is around 85%-90% desert
“It also seems no matter how much rain or snow in the mountains CA gets, they are always in a drought.”
If you’ve never seen the movie “Chinatown” then I recommend it. It explains California water politics quite succinctly.
They will go after the rich and movie stars for violating restrictions...a few years ago they fined Tom Selleck something like $100,000 for watering his lawn
“a few years ago they fined Tom Selleck something like $100,000 for watering his lawn”
Only because Selleck is a Republican and an NRA member.
