LA Times says CA has only a year of water. I say toss the 10 million illegals and problem solved

[Lovebears65]

Article lists 3 things to be done but none of them address the horde of illegal invaders. Kick them out (as the law requires) and the drought problem would be solved overnight.

California has about one year of water left. Will you ration now - LA Times

march 12 2015

As our “wet” season draws to a close, it is clear that the paltry rain and snowfall have done almost nothing to alleviate epic drought conditions. January was the driest in California since record-keeping began in 1895. Groundwater and snowpack levels are at all-time lows.

As difficult as it may be to face, the simple fact is that California is running out of water — and the problem started before our current drought. NASA data reveal that total water storage in California has been in steady decline since at least 2002, when satellite-based monitoring began, although groundwater depletion has been going on since the early 20th century.
Right now the state has only about one year of water supply left in its reservoirs, and our strategic backup supply, groundwater, is rapidly disappearing. California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain.

I hope no other state offers to bail them out either. They got in this predicament with the countless of illegals and their environment laws

California is the 7th biggest economy in the world. A very diverse economy, ranging from silicon valley to truck farms. It also has a climate that is extremely vulneble to weather swings. Records of long droughts and huge floods.

Yet we see our 'Conservatives' taking joy in the fact that they are currently in a drought situation. What a sad reflection that is on the mental state of such people.

Sillhoutte, I hope that your company has a good economical solution. But, even it it does, it will be fought tooth and nail by the 'Conservtives' simply because it has solar in it's name.

give us a break rocks....if this state was republican and the same situation existed you would be one of the ones bad mouthing california.....you know it and i know it.....

Has anyone exerted any leadership on this issue at all, or are they sleepwalking to destruction?

Correct, they are sleepwalking to destruction, not listening to their scientists & hydrologists. Exactly. LA money is running that show and I don't look for it to stop until LA realtors get their fresh water for new subdivisions from the ocean.

For years they have been wanting to tap into the Columbia river in Oregon.
We've told them we might consider a trade for some of their sunshine, but otherwise we've told them to stick it.

California and the left coast generally is the future Appalachia written very large. On one side is an Ocean that covers one third of the world's surface and the other side has 5-8 mountain ranges until the great plains are reached. A future backwater comparable to central Asia.

wow what world do you live in?......the future Appalachia?...to many rich people here for that to happen......

When it goes dry your real estate value of all those rich properties is effectively zero..

sure it will.....we are always,it seems, in a drought out here and yet i just sold my building here for 300,000 more than what it was worth from just 3-4 years ago....some of you people know jack about this state,just like shootspeeders the "expert" on illegals.....the guy only knows about mexicans by what he has read or is told....s.cal has always been dry and droughty....but yet people are always buying property out here,much of it expensive,even in half ass areas,but it is always selling,in Orange County it does anyway.... ...remember,lots of people are leaving,but there are still people moving in and life goes on.....

Desalination will NOT fix the problem. It's like putting a band aide on an AMPUTATED LIMB.

AGRICULTURE uses too much water in kullyfornia, PERIOD. Until they deal with that, they will continue to deplete their water supply, desalination plant or not. Desalination would NEVER be able to KEEP UP.

You're right in that desalination won't work on a large scale because they simply cannot produce enough water to make a difference. But for all the smaller coastal cities with the means, desalination plants on a scale to suit their own needs makes sense.

Let's get George Soros to finance a railroad company to transport water from the Mississippi River across the Rockies and charge Californians by the ounce...or build a pipeline from the Great Lakes to the Continental Divide with pumping stations along the way. Take ALL of the gold in California to pay for it.

Either that or sit back and laugh our asses off at the silliest state in the union!

The only bad thing about the failure of California is that the current residents are moving out and infesting other areas.

pay back for when all you fuckers from the other states moved here in the 70's and 80's and 90's and fucked this state up....how does it feel?....

So you admit that Californians are fucked up. Here's a clue...it was the poor governing of California that fucked (and continues to fuck) the state. Liberalism is a mental disorder and California is its premier proving ground.

California is a good place to be FROM...thanks to the people that are still there electing loony liberals. The people that are leaving are exhibiting their good sense. Thanks!

The takers...absolutely! Those are the government bandits that raise taxes to promote big government and socialism take the money at the point of a gun. Businesses and worker bees for those businesses leave the state. Liberalism in action.

I can't see another state bailing out CA but the feds will likely do it. The politicians take their corporate bribes and know they are bankrupting the state by letting in the illegals, but they also know the feds will force the rest of the country to bail them out

For those who resent my future Appalachia comment I would suggest that they check historical wages and cost of living for coal miners right up to the switch to oil about 1900 they were among the highest paid workers in the nation.
