California adopts environmental rules and guidelines for desalination

15. I love that the research is there, just like with hydrogen generation technologies.

But as long as there are options available right now that reduce use, we must deploy those.

It's like the California Solar Initiative: You don't get the rebate for solar photovoltaic until you have an energy audit and can show that you've taken the right efficiency measures.

I'm fighting a developer right now in a place where there is no water, none, and the county board is going to let them build anyway based on empty promises with no requirement to perform.

The county wants the revenue. They are a progressive county but want the revenue. And there is no water and the traffic infrastructure cannot take the new load, but they build anyway.

Communities like Cambria, CA, have had a water shortage for quite a while and they did a smart thing.

No more water meters. It's a beautiful coastal town where, if you want to build you need to buy a property with a meter.

You can build somewhere else if you abandon that meter, but no new customers.

Smart growth.
