Don’t come to me with that, Tex. California still leads
the nation in agriculture by 2x. And, speaking of #2,
that would be Texas and there will NEVER be a way for
Texas to produce what Cali produces.
Well, I don’t know. In terms of total food nutrient value, TX might be closer to CA than you think.
However, fruit, grain, and vegetable production in TX could be MUCH higher: Divert Midwest flood waters to giant reservoirs in TX for irrigation. Certain climate sensitive food plants might not grow well in even an irrigated TX, but otherwise, it would work just fine, and solve flooding problems, too. Granted, it’d be one heck of a pipeline project, but TX has the energy to power the pumps, and the space for the reservoirs.
