Desalination. The word did not appear in the article, so I thought I’d add it.
Desalinization requires lots of energy. Nuclear power would help..otherwise we will need a lot more power lines running into CA. Those lines are opposed by the leftist as well.
The problem is NOT water! We have plenty. The problem is the enviro lobby that is placing a 3 inch bait fish above the people in order of priority.
