I am personally ashamed to admit that, considering and remembering the deliberate actions of Californians regarding their “nature” decisions, “environmental” decisions, “water supply” decisions, “energy” decisions and “Save the Spotted Owl” decisions, I find to very difficult indeed to feel any concern or sympathy for them.
They are receiving exactly what they, in their superiority, worked, voted, wished, and pressured for.
Oh, wasn’t there once a rather good sized body of water off the coast that could have supplied some “desalinated water?”
I believe this is about driving the little guy out so his land can be bought for cheap. Once enough land has been bought, all people but the rich will only be able to rent property. Then policies will be created to make the land free once more.
Owning land will essentially become illegal in California.
On a planet 3/4 covered in oceans, it takes the concerted efforts of a committed bureaucracy to create a water shortage.
Desalination has been blocked by the EPA since the eighties.
