#2I think as climate change really starts getting going the American Southwest including California will need to start desalination on a massive scale or risk mass emigration. The current situation is sketchy at best, give it 20 years and most of that area will be bone dry.

It would be great to see some mitigation in the form of emissions reductions to boot!

Wouldn't it make more sense to build a gigantic pipeline from Oregon/Washington to California?

I believe the cost of pumping it outweighs the cost of more desalinization plants.

It's a combination of factors. Some's being exported as food (nuts, beef). Some isn't being recaptured, as aquifers are being depleted to the point of collapsed. Etc.

Maybe living in a desert isn't such a great idea?
