phaster, all I see from you is rants. I never said anything about doing the same thing over ad over again and expecting better result. I actually stated solutions. What are your solutions?
Where did you get $20B desalination plant needed for SD come from? The Carlsbad plant supposed to provide 7-15% of our water need. So we only need ~10 of those. That’s assuming we do nothing else. How about water recycling (toilet to tap)? How about brown water system? How about improve storm water run off and build more dams for storage? We have been haven’t water problem for years and have you seen most of CA doing anything?
Whether you think the politician is capable of fixing the problem or not is irrelevant, since they have a monopoly. for our sake, I hope they get their act together and fix the problem. If we can have Tesla, SpaceX, Google, Apple, etc in CA, I’m pretty sure we can fix the water problem.
And removing all the lawn isn’t going to solve the problem, unless you want to also kick out 1/2 of the Californian too.
