Yes, I rememeber those conversations, but they keep posting articles about it in the LA Times and editorials there.

Meanwhile these assholes live right next to the pacific ocean. Build fucking desalinization plants.

We'll probably perfect weather control & cloud seeding in a big way before it becomes a full blown crisis, opening a can of worms that'll benefit the morons in the desert at the expense of someone else

Just watch the USDA drought map keep inching east.
Water for the Momo's choosing to live in the desert or food for all? Priorities.

AZ has it mostly figured out too. They sell most of their water rights from the Colorado River Basin to CA.

AZ is the wettest desert on the planet. You're fine down there.

Water is full of calcium down there anyways. Hard water spots for days from those.

 

[IDAFC21]

Yah there's that. Also the fact that you usually just get a quick downpour out here, and then the sun IMMEDIATELY comes out and just flash boils everything into your paint. Thats always fun. It actually stayed cloudy all day today tho thankfully

When I was there in August of 2022, there were only 15 intake vents showing. Now it looks like there’s 17.

Didn't that area just get a shit ton of flooding? Did Hoover Dam not get any of that?

I think that was at the coast, and therefore most of it prob ran in to the ocean
