"Poseidon’s long-running proposal was supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom but faced ardent opposition from environmentalists who said drawing in large amounts of ocean water and releasing salty discharge back into the ocean would kill billions of tiny marine organisms that make up the base of the food chain along a large swath of the coast."
Yup. They could have used it for sea salt like up around SF.
I think its cargil? that has about a 20 thousand acre sea salt plant up there.
Eff em. Reduce their take from the Colorado river that much.
THEY want us to RECYCLE darn near EVERYTHING ELSE-—
Why cannot someone come up with a use for the byproducts???
Damned right! Better turn off the sun too because it's doing the same thing! Imagine all that freshwater it took from the sea! It's turning that stolen water into clouds! The resulting rain then gets tossed all over the Earth without any sort of Government oversight!
So, don’t pump the brine back. Dry the discharge completely, harvest and market the sea salt.
drawing in large amounts of ocean water
= = =
Well, “Evaporation” draws in large amounts of ocean water, and it leaves the salt behind.
Stop Evaporation Now!
And wouldn’t raising global temps make evaporation greater?
