WRT watering restrictions in LA vs SD,… if people were smart they would start conserving and look at water as a very precious resource which is a need for people to live (AND have a working economy)
said another way w/ out water an economy is not possible AND w/ out water a person is dead[/quote]
If people were smart, they would demand the cancellation of the $105B bullet train project and spend that $105B to build 105 desalination plants. We would stop talking about water right now and people would not die from lack of water. Afterall, we have virtually limitless water right next to us. If you want to go crazy, build 1000 desalination plants or build ways to collect water from the east and create water pipelines (like oil pipelines) to bring water to the West. It’s not a hard problem to solve, just require $.
