A LA County probably has about 700,000 pools, 8’ deep.
Almost as bad as the Tesla owners who gloat about their energy savings from charging for free at work charging stations.
To find a rat nest, look for the water source. Water leads to Demonrats. Demonrats almost always live close to large bodies of water. And most of them have so much reserve fat, they float.
They would have to periodically flood their fields to wash away the salt negating the water savings.
Pretty much their plan
yep, that is the problem , California is the # 1 agriculture state as ranked by sales of agriculture product, they are ahead of Iowa, Nebraska and Texas., more than all of Canada, They are number one in ,milk and dairy,ahead of WI and produce 12% of the US veggies so look for even higher grocery prices
Build those nuclear desalination plants. Orange County would be a good place to start. :D
They gotta save the money for a desalination plant to lavish on their illegal invaders, of course.
Newsom stole $1.4 billion back in April 2020. He did not go thru the state but just said he spent it on buying masks from a chinese bus company. No masks ever showed up. This was his buy in money to run for president in the near future.
That $1.4 billion could have been spent on the water project instead. The run for president was more important to him and others.
Good God....
"Environmental justice?" Words right out of the California universities' Marxist handbook. They are turning California into an American Venezuela. The entire West Coast is going pink.
Desalination reduces population control opportunities - it starts removing crises that can be used.
A better idea (if the country was more stable) would be to set up in Baja Mexico. Then let the Biden Admin try to deny permits for cross-border water pipelines.
yes.
And all the reservoirs I’ve been by are full.
Its just Liberals being liberals.
Obey us or else.
I don’t know about California, but here in the state of Washington the reservoirs are still full from the recent snow melt. That can go pretty fast though if we have a dry summer and we are sometimes on water restrictions in August (lawn watering is limited to 2x a week or something).
I just let our grass go dormant and it pops right back when the fall rains come.
BTW - there have been a lot of TV ads by the hydroelectric outfits about how the dams on the rivers produce so much (3/4) of our electricity. Clean, renewable energy, and of course also dams the rivers to be used for irrigation.
I haven’t read anything about it - but my guess is there is a new push on for removing some of these operational dams.
A few small, old dams have been removed that were not operational any more to improve fish habitat. Maybe that was good - but lots of money was spent.
“Yeah, the environmentalists are worried about killing algae, bacteria, and microscopic organisms....”
I’m trying to thing of a zinger along the lines of Johnny Carson with his envelope thing to one of these goofballs.
“May you walk 100 feet on a 50-foot dock during a red tide.”
“I have advice for Californians. Don’t live in a desert and expect rain at your convenience.”
They knew that 100 years ago, but didn’t bother to pass that on. Now they pay.
Obviously the drought can’t be too bad. Otherwise California would not have gone ahead and made another sacrifice to Gaia.
the most critical technology to change the world is one that seperates out all the minerals and metals from salt water profitably.
elon musk could absolutely do this. further the combination of additive manufacturing and giga stamping presses that he has could make desalination plants that would fit into semis and in the bay of one of his rockets and either work independently or together.
together these would collapse the cost of water desalination and make desalination ok with environmentalists. the result would be water desalination cheap enough for desert farming. the habitable size of earth would double.
