Title: Yet Another West Coast Drought
Post by: nddons on December 15, 2022, 09:10:12 AM
Hi hum.

For you engineers here, why in the world aren’t we tapping into the largest body of water in the world and sending desalinated water inland into California and points east? 

I understand Saudi Arabia gets about 50% of its water from desalination plants and sending it along 2,500km of pipelines.

Are we not as smart as them?  For fucks sake, what am I missing here?

Just going from memory, the problem comes down to power (all kinds) and what to do with the waste.  Removing salt from water takes a lot of energy which means more power plants which are not allowed in CA.  The other problem is discharging the saltier water back into the ocean.  Can't do that to the environment, don't you know.

I think an even bigger problem is that the demand for clean water will far outstrip the ability and will to build pipelines over the mountains.  Plus the capacity of those pipelines is just not enough to do any good.  You can build pipelines inland to serve Southern California but it's way more politically feasible to build another yet another pipeline from Northern California (where they are redneck rubes that vote for Trump) and steal their water.

Gavin Newsome will run for president in 2024.   With the DNC (Democrat National Communist) grasp on ballots in key states, the election is already decided.

President Newsome will do to the rest of the country what he has done to the Peoples Republic of California.

Let that sink in.

  It's a hard reality.  The republicans still can't grasp votes vs ballots, and how the game is played.   Newsome knows this, and realizes there will be a cake walk into the WH come 2024.  His Aunt Nancy would love nothing more than to see the clan take the highest office and continue the family tradition of fleecing the American public.

There was a recent article in the Boston Herald, where the Sec of State (Galvin - a democrat) "Mass GOP needs to beef up mail-in voting effort, Galvin says"

I wonder if Galvin really understood what he was saying...

Totally missing the point.  Republicans don’t lose because they don’t mail in their vote.  They lose because the Democrats use mail in ballots to CHEAT.

He initiates policies that create problems for his state, then says somehow an untenable situation has arisen in his state but it isn’t his fault.

defining characteristic of liberals is that it's always someone else's fault.
