You say you don't care but unless you grow and raise 100% of all your food it would impact you and the rest of the country as well when prices for comodities from CA increase significantly.
do you not think that is going to happen ,regardless of wether or not they build more desalination plants?
if there's no water, prices are going up.
doing nothing and hoping for the best ain't gonna help.
which is worse? paying higher prices for food or starving to death because there is no food.
seems to me that you are the clueless one , if you think cali can just continue on as they have been.
you point to the plant in san diego.
no one is disputing it is expensive but how much worse off would the aquifers be had they not built that plant??
