At worst they'll pay California coastal cities to desalinate water in exchange for a larger share of Colorado River water.

It'll be the Arizona and Southern California farmers dependent on Colorado River Water who get blown away in the dust.

Water flows uphill to money.

The first heat crisis in the U.S.A., where thousands of people die when the power fails, will probably occur in the humid Southeastern U.S.A., not the dry west.
