Good luck to the D's cheating this time around. The Military has been in charge of the 2016 and 2020 National Elections. They let them steal and cheat in 2020 so they can catch them ALL. All caught on video, text and email. I would be very careful what you preach on here daddy.

My read is the conservatives have the courts. Although besides abortion I don't see any other wedge issues that gets folks fired up like saving babies. So they are going to keep pushing on the abortion issue, trying to outlaw it next at the federal level. Which means they are going to have to start winning hearts and minds in blue states... and I don't see how Trump is going to be useful toward that goal?
Republicans should walk away from Trump...

Its not even the presidential nominees, but the veeps as well. I guess when the #1 is Trump, Biden or Clinton, who cares that the "heart beat away" is Pence, Harris or Kaine - FFS!
Though IMO DeSantis is not the answer.

Agree with you on water storage, but I don’t see desalination as a solution. The fuel impacts are too high.
How do you meet your carbon emissions goals if you are releasing 3 pounds of CO2 per cubic meter of water created? We’re better off getting rid of our ornamental grass and replacing it with semi-arid plants.
We live in a desert, we should act like it.
Almond farmers dispute that it requires a 1.1 gallons to grow one almond, they claim its 33% less than that which is still a huge number.
California’s agricultural water policies are nuts
It takes 1.1 gallons of water to produce one almond or pistachio nut.

Fun fact. In California its legal to collect rain water for personal use at your home. In some Western states it is not legal because they claim that rainwater belongs to those that own the water rights.

CA has not done any major work on its reservoirs (by that I mean adding any real capacity) since the 1960s when the state had half the population it currently does.
It needs to build more. And I suspect that if that doesn't work or they don't do it in a timely fashion, they will move to desalination. The state is still growing and the demand for water will increase.
I fail to see the benefit of having more empty reservoirs.
I should rephrase. Collection of rainwater is heavily restricted in some Western states and requires a permit which can be very difficult to obtain. Policies are changing though.
Brilliant!
There are some who are in favor of collecting rainwater into storm drains and allowing that rain to run into the ocean.

Why Does California Let Billions Of Gallons Of Fresh Water Flow Straight Into The Ocean?

Where would one build a reservoir to capture that rainwater runoff?

Great question.
I defer to the folks who make a living figuring out those matters...
There appears to be lots of information on line regarding watershed locations from the Tijuana River through Ventura County.
Enjoy!
