The absolute last things that the enviro whackos in California want are cheap energy or available water. They want to drive the remaining middle class out of California so that the rich liberals and their illegal alien servants will have it to themselves.
I am being totally serious here.
Why would they want that? It would mean the rich liberals would have to pay ALL the taxes and they’d have no one to do their mid-level work for them, the programming, the accounting, etc.
