This might be the most productive valley on the planet, yet it is vulnerable to water availability.
We need to shift our infrastructure to capture and transport the water if necessary. The drought may be the new normal, but it is always raining somewhere. Transport and store is the the solution.
Billions are produced here, much of which is exported.
That said: the Democrats own the state.
Well put, the "new normal drought" really is the standard long term rainfall pattern for CA. Proper storage conservation and the Wall at the Mexican border will make water availability almost always manageable.
