Bingo.
So how many SC golf courses and lawns are getting watered every day?
California sucks?
it’s not cost effective, is it?
We have never had enough water that we could share it with millions.
Southern California is naturally a desert and must take water from other areas - and the population of Southern California continually grows and uses more and more water.
Maybe one of these days our leaders will get a clue. Like maybe when it finally occurs to them to allow offshore drilling too. ;-)
No doubt this government and our self representatives will come to the conclusion that allowing millions more illegal aliens into the U.S. will be the solution to this matter.
There are too many people in SoCal and they need to stop stealing the water from the north, or build their own reservoirs.
I’m sure having 500,000 to 1,000,000 illegals doesn’t help the situation. But we don’t want to mention that because it is “racist”.
It’s Denver, they are stealing all the West Slope Water for the Democratic Convention!
If the crops all die, there won’t be as many jobs that Americans won’t do. Problem solved. A big desert returns to being a big desert.
Desalination -- the removal of salt from salt water -- would be the ultimate solution to water woes -- if it can be done cheaply enough. That's a big if: "The best estimates are $2 to $2.50 per ton for desalination," says de Villiers. "That not really that far from the real cost of delivering water from the Colorado River, but California's water is so heavily subsidized that they are paying 10 cents per ton when the real cost is closer to $2.50 per ton."http://waterindustry.org/Water-Facts/water-costs-8.htmsnip
Water subsidies are a fact of life in the western United States. According to de Villiers, they amount to $500 per acre. He alleges that "70 percent of the farmers' profits in California's Central Valley -- which is supposed to be the richest farmland in the world -- came directly through taxpayer subsidization."
Yeah but those smelt fishes are doing fine now.
Isn’t that why they didn’t fill some of the reservoirs up as much as they could? it was hurting smelt???
They’ve been talking about desalinaiton for decades. They need to quit talking, and start building.
Way past time for desalination plants up and down the coast!
nuclear/ desalinization plants
The lefties can try to do without juice, but thirst will demand water
Yes, whatever we do don’t build Nuclear Desalinization plants off the coast in Southern CA, wouldn’t want to actually have enough water for the idiots that inhabit LA and the surrounding areas. I get so sick of the BS leftists put out and the idiots that swallow their BS.
Wait until Colorado starts asking for its share of the Colorado River...as long as McCain keeps his paws off of the Compact.
Colorado will go ballistic if the feds start messing with the water situation in the West.
The calls for rationing and conservation will do little to offset the continuous influx of invaders across the Mexican border. The additional demand they place upon resources will rapidly outstrip conservation efforts.
