(4,569 posts)I said that they are just now SERIOUSLY going for desalination.......I know that there are a couple of plants.......The cost would have been much lower if they bothered to go through with desalination as a regular thing.......Instead, they sat on their resource, complaining about the price and now when things are really desperate, they find themselves behind the ball and having to pour a huge lump sum of money into projects that should have been running smoothly by now and costing much less because of accumulated use.
Cheap water and cheap labor have been the backbone of California's farming industry.......It's now gonna bite them in the ass (and the whole nation also) because of the lack of foresight of water supply.
