Letters: Desalination would only make water more costly, not solve shortage

Sacbee ^ | January 2025 | Bob Rodger, Los Osos

[Libloather]

I wouldn't even know where to start with these people.

[gundog]

Depopulation is the answer. Deport, deport, deport...

[ClearCase_guy]

Producing more water will cause a shortage. Uh huh.

[alternatives?]

Fires increase warming, water stops fires.

[kiryandil]

I don’t know how you would go about scraping the bullet train.

Has it got rust on it already?

[gundog]

[Bonemaker]

I do,...tell them to go die of thirst.

[kiryandil]

Desalination would exacerbate the problem. It takes 1,500 kilowatt-hours to produce a million gallons of desalinated water. That’s a lot of carbon being put into the atmosphere.

Los Angeles burning puts a lot of carbon into the atmosphere, Bob Rodger.

Let's not even talk about the toxic gases, Bob, you effing CalifornTard.

[PAR35]

Deport, deport, deport

Deportation addresses a symptom. It doesn't even start to deal with the root cause if the problem.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Bunch of dummies. Yeah, that’s why Saudi Arabia and Israel decided not to do it...

[BobL]

For those who don’t know, desalination water costs about 0.10 to 0.25 CENTS per gallon, or no more than 25 cents for 100 gallons, or roughly $7.50 per month, per household.

I suspect people in California (and much of the rest of the country) paying $50 to $100 per month for the same amount of water wouldn’t mind he above prices for desalinated water.

[Repeal The 17th]

It is like rock-paper-scissors...
-
People kill water.
Water kills fire.
Fire kills people.

[Leaning Right]

> Our water problems have been caused by drought, which is a symptom of global warming. <

Didn’t this idiot get the message? You’re no longer supposed to blame everything on “global warming”. It’s all the fault of “climate change” now.

[madison10]

Israel is the expert at it. CA should ask.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The water problem is caused by diverting billions of gallons of clean fresh water into the ocean because environmental wackos.

[bray]

The Sierra Club is a terrorist organization. Bet the people whose homes are ashes would like to have a few of those plants.

[Bikkuri]

Man, how can people be THAT stupid?!

[lizma2]

In the 60’s it was “THE ICE AGE IS COMING!!!!”

B.S. then
B.S. now

[fella]

Not to mention that the most efficient and reliable desalination plants are made by Israel who the state refuses to do business with because it fights back against those who murder its citizens.

[LibertyOh]

Thank you for doing the calculation of costs per gallon. I was a bit surprised when the article stated the electricity used was actually very little. Just stupid not to do it in California.
