There is a large, previously unknown aquifer under the Cascade Mountain Range in the Northwest. Apparently, lava in underground magma chambers retreated and left massive caverns for snowmelt to fall into. The aquifer holds three times as much water as Lake Meade at full capacity. The water is also held at a high elevation, making it easy to get it to flow to lower elevations. The Cascade Mountain Range is the largest water aquifer of its type in the world. That's the good news. The bad news is that with the current pro-Global Warming policies ("Drill, baby, drill"), the water supply will be a temporary one, with less and less snow on the mountains every year. The Cascade Mountains Have Been Hiding a Precious Natural Resource. A Research Team Just Found It.
Yep, because the Pacific Ocean was too hard to deal with... boiling the water away from the salt in a desalinization plant. It only took burning LA down to the ground to find previously undiscovered water in an underground aquifer. Maybe they also discovered that keeping the water in these man made reservoirs works in case of wildfires.
1) Where would California get the energy to desalinate water? The Pacific is cold water off the coast of CA--it would take a lot of heat to get it up to boiling. It's not like desalinating the warm water in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Desalinization is typically for drinking/household water. It's a little expensive to use for fighting fires, because you would still have to store it (and watch it evaporate until you were ready to use it). 2) Aquifers in Washington state would do Los Angeles little good during a fire event. Did you expect the water to be brought south by truck, or in 5-gallon containers? Or do you expect Trump to cut a trench and/or build aqueducts to transport the water a thousand miles? 3) Reservoirs work great when they aren't down for maintenance.
You mean, the overloaded electrical grid? They'll need to make a choice every month--moving cars or expensive water to fight fires.
Windmills... Let me guess, comrade Newsome will not let power companies build new power plats in California? THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CRIME AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF HIS STATE... Maybe that governor should go back to school to see how to run a state. He needs massive energy... power generation COMES first... for everything. They should pump all available water to places of need (SoCal), places that he KNOWS will have less annual rain. So, blaming lack of power is just another way of blaming Newsome for that failure too.
