Idiots.
No internal combustion engine cars, insufficient electrical grid and generation and lack of water. Turn California into more of a hell hole than it is.
Should of built several of them years ago. Bunch of Dimwits in charge.
Guess theyre skerred there wouldn’t be any salt left in the o’shun.
I heard part of the justification, is that desalination returns the by products back to the ocean, and pollutes the ocean.
But the by products they are concerned with, are the salt and brine and other substances which were in the sea water in the first place.
Their view is that we are adding pollutants to the ocean, by returning substances back to the ocean which were there originally.
California deserves everything that happens to it.

Eco kooks have the mindsets of toddlers.
“But mommy, why do we need this? Everyone knows if you want water you just turn on a faucet.”
Nothing has changed.
"Poseidon’s long-running proposal was supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom but faced ardent opposition from environmentalists who said drawing in large amounts of ocean water and releasing salty discharge back into the ocean would kill billions of tiny marine organisms that make up the base of the food chain along a large swath of the coast."
What ever power the Coastal Commission has has been asigned to it by legislation. The Democrats control all aspect of the State Government. If they wanted to overrule this commission they could.
If they don’t then that means the Democrats do not want the desalination plant.
The argument was that it would make the ocean saltier.
>>California deserves everything that happens to it.
Yep, used to travel there on business a few times a year - didn’t like it back then, and its been all downhill since - they won’t see me anytime soon spending any $$$ there.
Idiots.
I wonder what their reasoning is...
I hope all the tree hugger climate eco-freaks will enjoy fighting off their new South American ‘neighbors’ for the Evian water they have stockpiled in their garage.
“But mommy, why do we need this? Everyone knows if you want water you just turn on a faucet.”
But they could use the salt to salt their fields and destroy their food supply. Must be the B team state destroyers in charge of this
It is a lot more fun howling about “climate change” after you have sabotaged anything that could help people get the water they need.
Kinda idiotic when you think about it.
