Real bad in NC too.
At the same time, they want to import another 30 million illegal aliens over the next couple of decades, and they keep building tracts of houses IN THE DESERT! JUST STOP!
LOL. You can't make this stuff up. No one would believe it.
Wonder if this judge lives in the area under water restriction.
I wonder how many trains a day would be needed to bring in bottled water for 36 million people.
So all the tax paying citizens are asked to cut back and then mandatory water restrictions will go into effect and they could get fined. Meanwhile, anyone else can use all the water they want and who’s to stop them?
Water, lots of water, may be the only thing of value in the old industrialized cities of New England. Even with crippling taxes, burdensome regulations, expensive schools, and horrible winters for those who don’t like cold, the ONLY thing that MIGHT attract business/manufacturing back to the Northeast is plentiful clean water.
I wonder how violent things would have to get before our Masters put us ahead of the fish.
Mule trains to comply with existing ecological concerns.
Good point. Also, if there is a potential reduction of 10% in the water supply, what would the removal of much of the illegal population in Southern California do to the demand?
The City of LA announced a 10% voluntary cutback....and then the media reported nearly all the City Council and other department heads used up to 10 times the average city household in water.
That said, as a N. Cal resident, there is no bad reason to cut S. Cal off from our water. They live in a freaking desert. They should learn to like rock gardens, not lawns.
They can also fix the kind of crops they grow in the central valley. Currently farmers grow cotton (a water intensive crop) using federally subsidized water at the same time the federal government pays farmers in the south not to grow cotton. It is insane.
Well, you guys damned up the 2nd Yosemite for your water...
i’ve lived in socal for over 20 years.
i’ve never seen any water conservation. people waste water here.
i’m from denver where the water cops come out and ticket you if you water your lawn on the wrong day.
some of socal’s water comes from colorado.
Let me see, smelt or humans, humans or smelt? Gosh that is a tough one...
Seems to me it’s time to get serious about desalinization. Put in a nuclear power plant or five, and use them to produce clean drinking water for the southland. Who knows, we might even find something to do with the excess energy.
You couldn't pay me enough to live there (just like LA).
Given what happened to the Owens Valley I wouldn't throw any stones if I was you.
