California Has Never Experienced A Water Crisis Of This Magnitude – And The Worst Is Yet To Come

This is why I really do see the possibility of a mass migration out of California because the water supply isn't enough to support 50 million residents. And that could have significant effects on California's representation in Congress after the 2020 Census.

Yep. Read the headline and I immediately thought it should read:

California Has Never Experienced An Inept Political Ruling Class Of This Magnitude – And The Worst Is Yet To Come

Don't forget that Robert Muguabe has an advanced degree from one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world. How is that working out for Zimbabwe?

Only Marines can flip an island.

[Darksheare]

Fear not, the EPA is already out with a solution.

Sounds like the plot of Chinatown.

The Big Lie.

In actuality, there is no emergency, other than the one created by the radical leftists in California. The water pumping, storage, and transfer capacity of the state is able to handle a 5-year period of limited rainfall. California is in year 3. What is occurring is that the Marxist politicians, bureaucrats, and enviro-terrorists have ensured the pumps in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta are not operating at capacity so as to fully capture the Sierra runoff. As a result, !!!! 50% !!!! of the available water is flushed out to the Pacific Ocean, billions and billions of gallons. And that is choking off 1.3 million acres of farmland (and the farmers who work it), as well as the counties and cities to the south.

Of course, the leftists have ensured full water supplies continue for Sacramento and San Francisco where they and their perverted claque are most concentrated.

A state of Fools, run by Fools. They have all the water they need just off the coast.

Desalination uses a small amount of fossil fuels which emit a small amount of carbon emissions that the California government insists caused the drought in the first place.

The desalination process itself does not pollute the ocean with high concentration salt brine. Their is no proof that this process kills marine ecosystems and destroys ocean life.

Even in Hollywood it’s rare to see a Prius and most of the mexican fix ir garages laugh at them. It’s now Hyundais and Fiat’s.

[twister881]

Amen. I live is San Diego, and the county recently opened its first desalination plant. Took 13 years(!) to jump through all the legal & permitting hoops to bring it on line. If the county had only seven of these plants, it would provide the fresh water needs for all 3.5 million residents.

[Bogey78O]

When you reject a solution out of hand due to practicality and marginal fears, you’ll never solve the problem.

California wants to suffer and deservedly so.

[Old Sarge]

Ah, but which is stranger: truth, or fiction?

[uglybiker]

The only problem is that too many Kalifornicators try to turn their new homes into another Kalifornistan.

[CaptainK]

I think the movie was based on early 20th century truth and history may be repeating itself.

[cripplecreek]

There is also the fact that California ranks as the 4th driest state and is among the most populated.

[Sir Napsalot]

Oooops, behind the time. My bad.

[bboop]

Vigelanteman - you are exactly right. The inmates are running the asylum up in Sacramento. We conservatives (down south) have no voice and no votes to speak of, and San Fran seems to feed pols into Sacramento.

[umgud]

I need to start a side business....... painting lawns green.

Please feel free to share what you think

Get as far away from Colapsifornia as possible!

[luckystarmom]

You see Teslas all over the Bay Area. That is definitely the it car in Silicon Valley.

Idiots write these articals. They are so intellectually lazy they won't even do a bit of basic research.

The climate was bone dry.... There was no moisture and our cattle died off in very great numbers ... Before the year 1864 had passed away, there was perfect devastation. Such a thing was never before known in California. --Juan Forster, Rancho Santa Margarita Cali in the a860's might have had a population of 100,000. Today they are bordering on 40 million. Rainfall cysles have always been a prominent part of the state's climate. So how does one explain the fact that the state has a population that is 400 times greater?

Maybe the great water projects of the last 100 years?

Sometimes the most complicated situations have the simplest solutions. Deport 8-10 million illegals and the problem is solved.
