California could actually use the water from the ocean to solve its drought problems but liberals blocked the move. They said reducing the sea level by 0.00001% might disrupt sea life. I wish I was joking.

I didn’t believe it… we can’t even pick up the most obvious wins directly in front of us. Pretty embarrassing

To be fair, it's not about reducing the sea level. It's that you have to discharge the extra-salty water side product back into the ocean, which can have some detrimental effects. But I think that's just the NIMBY excuse. Israel gets like half its water from desalination.

Ya 55% on average from desalination and they reclaim roughly 86% of wastewater a year for agriculture ops- next is Spain at 19%.

Thoughts on desalination plants and why, if government is blocking the move, we aren’t looking to privately fund this push?
