Where ever he is, my guess is that he is on the wrong side of this just like other issues.

The time was that lower California needed to pull in fresh water from the north. With recent developments in desalinization, I think it’s time for Southern California to launch an effort to obtain fresh water from the ocean.

I don’t honestly know if it is reasonable for it to get all it’s water from the ocean, I would tend to doubt it, but it could sure ease the situation. SoCal needs to become more responsible for it’s own fate.

I do not favor altering the farming practices mid-state for SoCal’s benefit at this point. If SoCal has a major problem, then let the idiots who think it should be the home of millions of illegal immigratns, donate their water to quench the illegal’s thirst.

"With recent developments in desalinization..."

What's that? The last I heard, it took about as much electricity to do that as it took to separate water from oxygen to make hydrogen, or to make alumininum!!!

And that takes a heck of a lot of electricity that can only come from night production from enough nuclear plants when all other needs are lower!!! (then more hydro for peak production needs)(like from a hydro electric Auburn Dam)(which could also flush out the salt water in the delta created by the peripheral canal that Peter worries about)
