Would "killing communists" be categorized as Crazy, or Not Crazy?
Minor details...
OR, governor Moonbeam can rescind his recent orders accommodating the flood of illegals into the state, ‘cause they use water, too.
Some years ago an well known inventor proposed an interesting idea to increase rainfall in arid lands adjacent to oceans.
Large bodies of water have a surface layer a few millimeters thick, of much warmer water that strongly inhibits evaporation. If you can break up this thin layer, evaporation from the water skyrockets. While higher humidity by itself won’t cause rain inland, it makes it a lot easier to happen.
His idea was to construct floating wind turbines off the coast, that pumped and sprayed a mist of sea water into the air. As the cooler mist settled on the surface, it would break up the layer inhibiting evaporation and prevent its reformation.
By itself, the idea was sound. But it had an unexpected weakness, that he called “biologicals”. Basically all the sea life that clogged the intake pipes for the turbines.
No idea if he was able to come up with a way around the problem.
Whenever a liberal uses this word, hang on to your wallets...
1. Massive emigration out of the state, just to reduce its water usage.
2. Switch to drought-resistant agriculture.
The more longer term solution is massive-scale seawater desalinization, especially with safer forms of nuclear power to provide the electricity to do such large-scale desalinization.
Much of California features sun and wind. It is a coastal state. Wind/solar desalination plants could provide the majority of the required drinking water, leaving the rest for agriculture and industry. Of course the envirowhackos would bitch about some plankton being inconvenienced...
But you'll never see that proposed in SoCal Earthquake country following Fukishima.
There is about 36 trillion gallons in lake Tahoe and its up hill from where the water is needed.
