Israel brings water to feckless California

California has put the green lobby elite ahead of the normal human need for water, building no new reservoirs in decades and diverting the water of the Central Valley to flow to sea in order to protect a locally endangered smelt. Now an Israeli company is coming to the rescue of San Diego County, soon to be providing 10% of their water and creating 2,500 jobs through state-of-the-art reverse-osmosis technology.

IDE Technologies dedicated the largest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere on Monday ..quenching the thirst of roughly 10 percent of San Diego County... The plant, which will be operated by IDE, has created some 2,500 jobs and generated about $350 million for the local economy, the statement added.

Hmmm. Money losing high speed rail with fine-steen's hubbie profiting in some manner or potable water for the state. Rail wins. Wait until the anti-Israel bds assclowns catch on. (Probably oversimplification of the scenario, but, you know)

Of course, any BDS supporters in the area have publicly eschewed the use of any water whatsoever in order to maintain their integrity/NOT! LOL./sarc

I wonder how well the desalination plant filters out radiation? There’s just a pond between Cali and Fukishima....

[GraceG]

Cesium salts are like other salts that get filtered out. Radioactive or not.

At least they’ll have decent security but that won’t mean terrorists won’t be able to tamper with the water down stream.

God, I sure hope they didn’t use eminent domain to create that plant. If they did, they should shut the thing down, tear it down and give the land back.

< snark >

California should be building many of those.

It’s true; California has no feck.

Don’t they need an EPA study to find out if using a desalinization plant like this will dump too much salt into the ocean and irreparably harm the ocean’s ecosystem? Save the kelp!
