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

I have advice for Californians.

Don’t live in a desert and expect rain at your convenience.

And don’t move to Tennessee.

Effin dicks!

Residential water use accounts for 12% of water usage.

Make commerce and agriculture do more to conserve! /S

Water in California is shared across three main sectors.
Statewide, average water use is roughly 50% environmental, 40% agricultural, and 10% urban(this report. others are only different by a few percent)

Ban oil drilling, then lament shortages and chastise citizens for driving.

Ban electricity generation, then lament shortages and scream that citizens are to blame for wasting power.

Ban water purification, then lament shortages and blame citizens for wasting water.

Next up: Cause famines, then lament shortages and call citizens ‘too fat to begin with’.

This is exactly what the Communists in east Europe were doing all the time through the cold war!

[Rurudyne]

Ban progressivism and lament the lack of lacking.

[AZJeep]

Didn’t they had flooding and “sky river” in CA not that long ago?

Communists are good at solving imaginary problems by making real ones worse

[MHGinTN]

Wonder what Newsom intends to spend the massive California budget surplus on? Not preparing for the future obviously. He’s a demon rat, so ruling from crisis to crisis is the thing they do best, never plan for future.

how long til the dick-taters demand residents breathe less?

don't laugh

California could make a boatload of money if it built large
desalination plants up and down their coastline and then built pipelines to carry the fresh water to Phoenix and Las Vegas.

Of course, the environmentalist whackos would have a cow.

[SecondAmendment]

Water desalination must not make much money for California public officials to embezzle from.

Keep engaging in “environmental justice” right until the grave. The fascists have now canceled themselves. The “final cancellation.”

Commissioners met today in a packed Costa Mesa conference room, just miles from the site, which is home to a power plant, where the project would be built. Some attendees held hand-painted signs proclaiming “Say No to Poseidon.” The sign of another attendee, wearing an inflatable green hat, declared “I am a plankton, please do not kill me!”

Wikipedia:

Marine plankton include bacteria, archaea, algae, protozoa and drifting or floating animals that inhabit the saltwater of oceans and the brackish waters of estuaries.

Yeah, the environmentalists are worried about killing algae, bacteria, and microscopic organisms....

[17th Miss Regt]

Yeah. And they let vast amounts just run out to the sea to protect the Delta smelt or the Nurovian dancing frogs or some other invasive species.

[entropy12]

May be because desalinization requires electricity and that means less power to charge batteries of electric cars.

When the name of your agency is National Drought Mitigation Center you’re going to find drought everywhere.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

After a more than two-decade effort to appease public officials for a green light on construction, the state Coastal Commission unanimously turned it down based on routine concerns over risks to marine habitat and “environmental justice.”

Oh, F these people.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

And don’t move to Florida, either.
