An article the Los Angeles Times explains the numerous regulatory hurdles companies trying to build these plants in California face. Telling quotation: "Building a desalination plant on schedule in the state is a rarity. There's even been talk among industry officials of piping in water from plants in Mexico to avoid the complications."
The reason is that one needs permits from "state and regional water boards, air boards, environmental reviews and the state Coastal Commission."
It's time for the California legislature and then Brown to step in, wipe out the litigation and excessive regulation through legislation, and get desalination plants up and running. This is ridiculous.
What is this water thing? Sean Hannity had a show about how the poor farmers around Merced were having crops die off for lack of water. Yet the money could be found for this modern, high speed "train to nowhere?" We must tell Al Gore about the plight of the California farmers!
