I can't help but wonder how many of these people supported politicians who pushed for the insanity of a $100BILLION high speed train to no where.

Or if maybe they could have built pipelines to take some of the hundreds of millions of gallons of fresh water that run into the Pacific every day from rivers like the Sacramento, Klamath, Columbia and Hood to drought prone areas that are so important to the national economy.

Maybe "pipeline" has become a bad word regardless of the good it might do.

BTW - I also wonder if that 25% cutback ‘Moonbeam’ has ordered includes the thousands of Starbucks serving liberals in the golden state.

[minnesota_bound]

They are also flushing billions of gallons out to sea.

Cut water use, but keep building? Why isn’t the first step cancelling building permits?

I don’t know much about it, but I think Israel now gets a lot of its water from de-salinized sea water. Maybe California should try that, but the environmentalists would probably oppose it.

The good news is “dreamers” don’t drink water (CERVEZA!) or bathe...

[ponygirl]

How about.... TURN THE FREAKING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE BACK ON?

And with the cutback in the use of water, will come higher prices to make up for what is lost in water usage.

Trees are smart enough to go dormant when global warming kills the environment. They’ll be back in spite of the BS.

“Maybe “pipeline” has become a bad word regardless of the good it might do.”

Probably more that those in power in Cali are more interested in maintaining the water shortage as a political issue. Only now are they pulling the Santa Barbara desalination facility out of mothballs after nearly 20 years of inactivity.

Interesting....about 50 years ago Santee, CA implemented a system that cleaned sewer water to make it drinkable...I remember trying it....it was drinkable but not satisfying. Good for dishes, laundry etc tho.
...wonder what happened to that system?

Has anyone from California contacted His Arrogance and discussed the possibility of sending all those water sucking illegals (and the coyotes they rode in on) back to South America?

Actually, most of the libs live in the big cities and don't need to water landscapes - they live in apartments and condos.

[Veggie Todd]

Why don’t they just move to where the water is.

If it’s yellow, let it mellow.

If it’s brown, flush it down.

[pgyanke]

I don’t claim to be an expert but it seems to me that a desert is a self-fulfilling thing. As they have turned farms into wasteland, there is less respiration to help the water cycle. Dryer becomes dyer.

[easternsky]

Quit saving the fish, Quit watering all the expensive Landscaping,Do the Ocean thing. Quit filling all the Swimming pools. Make all the grape people quit watering their grapes, Send all the illegals home, Golf courses and parks and playgrounds have to go, quit all new building, should I go on. Oh yes stop the Train to nowhere and the money can be spent to build the systems at the ocean. Stoopid there are many ways to stop the crisis if there is one.

[MeshugeMikey]

damns are so unpopular amongst the psuedo environmentalists and just what california needs.

[Tau Food]

Too much water is being sucked up and transported to other galaxies. This has happened before and we were left with pyramids in exchange. Maybe it will turn out for the best again.

[fella]

When L A bans the filling of a all swimming pools then I’ll believe California is serious about water.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

From drought-resistant landscaping to hiring scuba divers to repair pools

LOL. What a pampered society we've become when landscaping and swimming pool repair are considered "drastic measures." Come back to me when you have no drinking water.
