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.
Un - effing - believable.
Drought, imagined, real, or manufactured has nothing whatsoever to do with the restrictions on water use.
It is all caused by storage restrictions. While CaCaLand’s population has doubled in 30 years no water storage facilities have been added. Why do reservoirs show record low depths? ‘Cause twice as many people have been drinking water yah dumbass!
Been here 30+ years. Droughts come and go on regular basis. In between are record rains — and we don’t catch anywhere near what the population needs. Why? Because this is a one-party communist state (extensive regulations amount to gov’mt ownership) that made a deal with the treehuggers to limit water storage and encourage wildfires.
This is deliberate.
Is desalinization the next nuclear power? We have a solution, but the government would rather have rationing... It almost sounds intentional.
how many MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIENS live in California?
Now.. just imagine how much more water they would have without those MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS using it up!
California allowed in cheap Mexicans to pick crops, like fruit. OK, but they took that fruit from other States to gain the cheap Mexican labor. Not OK. There was also no water to grow the crops. Still no water.
Colorado has continuous water restrictions so that the plentiful water in Colorado can be sent downstream to fill pools in the desert and water crops growing in the desert.
Lets see, the oceans are suppose to rise because of global warming. So desalination plants would remove water and make the ocean levels drop......Two catastrophes avoided!! lol
“based on routine concerns over risks to marine habitat and “environmental justice.”
A hell of a note when human beings have to go without water over marine life and “environmental justice.” Bring back the days when common sense ruled the land.
I just wish we could kick California out of the country. The whole state
And the illegals just keep flooding in.
