They are to blame. Decades of wrong priorities and neglect. Few people object to their transgender cafes and tampons on the boys room as long as the most important and critical needs of the people are met. But they have neglected and in some cases deliberately damaged the most critical aspects of government. They refuse to build desalination plants, they have torn down dams to reintroduce species of fish that haven’t lived there for a century, they sued Trump to prevent water pipelines, they dump freshwater into the ocean, they drained several reservoirs, they don’t refill the underground aquifers, they blew $100 billion on a speed train that hasn’t even laid a single inch of track and runs from farm town to farm town. Those farm towns don’t need an electric speed train, they need WATER! Just like the rest of us and all species on earth.

Israel had a drought 15 years ago so they went very strong into building desalinization plants on the Mediterranean. They are the world’s low cost leader on this technology. That they have greatly advanced.
________________

Israel has emerged as a global cost leader in desalination technology:

The cost of desalinated water in Israel has dropped significantly, from about $0.75 per cubic meter in 2012 to $0.41 per cubic meter in 20229......cubic meter=264 gallons water

The Sorek B plant, currently under construction, is contracted to produce water for $0.41 per cubic meter, setting a new global benchmark for seawater desalination

Exactly.

The fact the fire breaks were not maintained and the brush was not cleared regularly is a direct result of government ineptitude.

They can argue many things, but they can’t explain away those.

But the defense of the left has begun, expect more and more stories saying there is nothing they could have done to start showing up...
