What happens if we actually go into one of our normal 3-5 year droughts from N. Kali to BC?

We came close last year to that cycle. Davis flushed the water from our lakes to keep the state from going black last year. What saved him was the lakes were reasonably high inspite of a fall/winter/spring drought here and up north. Also, we had a mild summer re high heat.

The watermelons work 24/7 to destroy our capitalistic society and to promote their dark ages.

What happens if we actually go into one of our normal 3-5 year droughts ...

Depends when. Right now, with the economy down and a little luck in the weather, probably not that bad.

If the economy picks up, probably a problem.

If the Enviro's get their way and most of 4-Corners and Powder River Basin coal plants are shut down and Alberta shuts down its coal plants (and BC hydro sells to Alberta rather than Califonria), serious problems.

If I were a Californian, I would be real concerned for how the Canadian Premier has said they will decide on Koyota accords prior to the end of the year. If Alberta has to shut down all of its coal plants that produce most of its power, new transmission lines will be built and the electricity from BC Hydro will no longer come to California. That would be a huge loss.
