Not necessary.....it’s time for the leftie politicians to tell the environmentalist wackos to get bent, and build a number of large DESALINAZATION plants along the coast. A smaller version of such a plant was built in the Santa Barbara area during the last drought, which ended before the plant came online.

The Saudis and other Arab states have built similar plants in their part of the world with great success.

In addition to supplying vast amounts of water for California, the California authorities could enhance the state’s financial coffers by building pipelines and selling water to land-locked Nevada and Arizona.

A desalination plant is just a way of 'trading a barrel of oil for a barrel of water' (not exactly correct but you get the point).

It only makes sense if you are flush with energy (Arabs likely used natural gas they would have otherwise flared off to power theirs).

One has been built in the Tampa Bay FLa area. The lefties and greenies protested it because it extracts fresh water from sea water. But the sea water put back in the sea has higher salinity so they say that's bad for the environment.

It costs money, lots of money and lots of energy. It will be interesting to see what level of taxation Californians are willing to bear. AZ and Nevada can just take the water from the Colorado River before it ever reaches CA.

California is going down into the dumper. The wealthy are leaving and their places are being taken by illegals and third worlders. Los Angeles, defined by the Census Bureau as Los Angeles and Orange Counties, had a domestic outflow of 6% of 2000 population in six years--balanced by an immigrant inflow of 6%. The economic divide in Los Angeles is starting to look like the economic divide in Mexico City and São Paulo.

Coastal Megalopolitan states--New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois--are projected to lose five House seats in the 2010 Census, while California, which has gained seats in every census since it was admitted to the Union in 1850, is projected to pick up none.

They can’t...
The FALLING sea levels caused by this would interfere with the EnviroNazi/Socialist agenda for World Control...
