HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A California coastal panel on Thursday rejected a long-standing proposal to build a $1.4 billion seawater desalination plant to turn Pacific Ocean water into drinking water as the state grapples with persistent drought that is expected to worsen in coming years with climate change.

The state’s Coastal Commission voted unanimously to deny a permit for Poseidon Water to build a plant to produce 50 million gallons of water a day in Huntington Beach, southeast of Los Angeles.

Poseidon said it was disappointed in the decision.

“California continues to face a punishing drought, with no end in sight,” a company statement said. “Every day, we see new calls for conservation as reservoir levels drop to dangerous lows. We firmly believe that this desalination project would have created a sustainable, drought-tolerant source of water.”

The vote came after a heated meeting before the commission attended by dozens of supporters and critics of the plan. It was considered a crucial decision on the future of the plant after years of other hearings and delays.

Southern California will die from drought this summer as the natural climate condition of desert resumes.

I guess no one told them the added salt counter acts the polar ice melt lowering the salination. /sarc

Oh, I like this

Pile it up like snow, and ski on it.

PS tell them there is lithium in there.

I want very bad things to happen to this state.

They will, of course, but I want them to happen NOW.

Yeah, if a Greenie eats enough salt, they will quit exhaling CO2.

But they they may be a methane problem.

And the Coyotes and Buzzards and worms may get high blood pressure.

California isn't even trying to use its 10th Amendment-protected powers to serve the people imo.

• After Nixing 50-Million-Gallon-A-Day Desalination Plant, California Demands Residents Use Less Water (5.30.22)

• Agency unanimously rejects California desalination project (5.13.22)

Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters in all states need to rescue California from its renegade government by electing Trump-endorsed federal leaders in 2022 that will make sure Californians get their constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphases added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

Insights welcome.

Mea Culpa.
