It always baffles my mind that there’s a drought in CA, when we’re right next to the largest water source on this earth. The Carlsbad desalination plant cost about $1B and it can serve 300k homes. I don’t know why we can’t build 100 of them, which would serve about 30M homes. That’s about the cost of the bullet train they’re proposing, but this new water source will be used by everyone instead of just a few wrt the train. I would have no problem paying additional property tax to have these built so I can stop hearing about drought in CA.
