You're right about this. I think if it get dry enough people will come around. BTW I don't think the existing water resources in California were ever enough to serve 17 million people.Skans » 02 Jun 2022, 10:03 am » wrote: ↑ California, with 840 miles of shoreline along the Pacific Ocean is constantly complaining that it does not have enough water to sustain itself and its population. Yet, California has no desalination plants. Why is that? With the Pacific Ocean holding 187 quintillion gallons of water, California could have all of the water it could ever use. But, what's going on here?
Well, it turns out that the same group of people, Environmentalists, who complain about California not having any water also block the construction of desalination plants. And, what party do so-called Environmentalists belong to? That's right - Democrats.
Australia, Israel, European nations, and Arabic nations have all constructed desalination plants for decades with no negative effects on the environment. California claims to have the development of desalination plants in the works, but these have all been bogged down by "studies" demanded by crazy Environmentalists.
So, next time you hear a Californian cry about "not enough water", demand "water restrictions" or bitch about global warming drying up California, please make sure to remind them that their state borders 840 miles of the biggest body of water in the world. If they want water, all they need to do is get it and take the salt out of it, which in 2022 is easy enough to do.
The navy ship that I was assigned to, the USS Chicago, had one of those systems on board. The water it produced was different but it served the purpose.
