California has no water. But they can leave good luck in your war when Mexico takes their land back because the US government military is not leaving it's weapons. You also owe your portion of the federal debt and a Democrat will never gain office without California.

As I look out my window at the Pacific Ocean while reading about the 2 biggest desalination plants recently built and using solar, wind, and tidal energy to help power them. LOL
I am a CA resident. San diego has 1.3 million people, while its desalination plant only provides for 300,000 at a very expensive cost. I believe the SD plant is the biggest in America as well. The desalination plants are costly and do not provide water for over 30% of the city. It's a start, but not a permanent solution at the moment.

Current de-sal plants do kinda suck but they're getting better and better.

It's like comparing the Internet in 1996 to the Internet now.

So, California does't really have a water problem. Cost of desal plant per 300,000 people = $100,000,000 for a 20 year old design/technology. It would take 140 of those to cover all of California's water needs today. Total cost would be around 14 billion, or in military terms, 7 stealth bombers. Sounds expensive but feasable. How much is that lame high speed rail costing california, 68 billion?

More lakes and reservoirs. When lakes are overflowing and rivers are flooding, it's pretty obvious we could capture a lot more water than we do.
