California: Water Shortages and Burning

[Weatherman2020]

Instead of Democrats spending $100B on a train to nowhere that nobody will use, coulda had 20 large desalination plants and a fleet of a thousand fire fighting aircraft.

Florida cult members….PLEASE MOVE TO CRAZYFORNIA.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom launches ads urging Floridians to leave state

California Gov. Gavin Newsom launched an ad urging Florida residents fed up with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis to pack their flip-flops and head west.

Leave this free state and go be subjugated by the cult in Cali.

I will personally donate to anyone leaving Florida for Cali or NY.

That shithole state

Apparently everywhere is a shithole to you.

Which cities do you actually like?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Desalination is the enemy of the tyrant.

How can you control the population when there is no fresh water shortage?

Which cities do you actually like?

The safe, clean, prosperous ones. So, anything not run by people like you.

Cities that have water and aren’t burning?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

By the way, nuclear power is also the enemy of the tyrant. How can one control the population without a constant energy crisis?

Who are you blaming for this?

Ongoing drought conditions hurting Central Texas farms

The current drought conditions are drying up some bodies of water and killing crops. Right now, Texas has the worst corn conditions in the country.

Name two major water infrastructure projects completed in California in the past twenty years.

Deflection ^^^^^^^

Who is to BLAME for the drought conditions in TX?

Try forty years.

The people who run that shithole WANT this to happen. They love it.

Its also hideously expensive.

Deflection? Topic is California and you’re babbling about Texas.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Its also hideously expensive.

More expensive than rerouting the Mississippi River to California?

 

[Weatherman2020]

Its also hideously expensive.

Because the Chinese are buying up West coast property.

Less than that Who wants to do that?

No, the technology is hideously expensive and energy intensive too. They have one (down in SD I believe). Multiple Gulf nations have a good number of them, and it is a mature technology however. Eventually that will have to occur.

A large desalination plant runs about $25M.

How Much Does A Sea Water Desalination Plant Cost?

Desalination plants take in seawater and remove the salt, chemicals, and other unwanted substances so that it can be used for drinking, irrigation, industrial and agricultural purposes. There are different types of seawater desalination plants, including thermal, membrane, and reverse osmosis.

It depends on several factors including source water, location, treatment process, and the size of the plant. Building a brackish water desalination plant usually costs less than that of a seawater desalination plant because brackish water is generally cleaner and contains less total dissolved salts (see Question 2, above). In 2007, $87 million was spent to build the Kay Bailey Hutchison brackish groundwater desalination plant in Texas. Design capacity of the KBH plant is 27.5 million gallons per day (MGD). The 2010 biennial report on seawater desalination projected that it will cost approximately $32 million to build a 2.5 MGD seawater desalination plant, and approximately $658 million to build a 100 MGD seawater desalination plant in Texas.
