In reply to Ulysses Uhaul. P.S. we recap all our baldies immediately at Poodle’s truck stop in Adelanto. He even puts that glisten stuff on the black walls. Sorta luxury touch...

You sound like give us your tired, oppressed or something like that.

We are running a vitamin water special for the doomed moving in July 2018. We love ya!

We are looking into shipping in trailers by rail from Texas. You will get a spiffy clean one????.

In reply to Ulysses Uhaul. Iyam, your Ulyness. I know it costs 2-3 times taking a rental trailer out of Cali than bringing one in. But maybe you have a special going on these days on one of your broken down, bald tired, squeaky wheel bearing trailers? On second thought, the Calicommies have so fleeced my pockets I can't afford to rent. I'll just have to pile my belongings into my dilapidated pickup and move. A pee soaked mattress tied on top just like the Grapes of Wrath in reverse.

It’s not a water fix, it’s a legacy fix for a hippie buffoon governor who has nothing to show for his four terms of office except record high taxes in every category, crumbling infrastructure, crushing regulation,unaffordable housing, sky high energy prices, crime and homelessness on the increase, millions of illegals flooding the state and a disappearing middle class fleeing the liberal tyranny.
Nice job, Moonie. You have fulfilled your destiny.The Golden State is no more.

In reply to Jay L. Stern. Water and solar power should go hand in hand. First of all I think around 1/7 of the electricity in the state is consumed by moving water. However, when you pump water over mountains it takes a lot of power to lift it which can be recovered on the way back down. Put some reservoirs at the top of sufficient size and California will smooth out the duck curve where peak generation is out of phase with peak demand by several hours and you’ll no longer have to pay Arizona to take your excess renewable generation. This would likely cost only a third that battery storage would cost and your already paying to lift the water over the mountain passes anyway.

Sure, let’s increase taxes to build some big pipe lines to move water away from a high use area to another high use area. Of course the amount of available water is finite so somewhere is going to come up short. Why don’t we jerk pumping and distribution of water out of greedy private hands for starters and instead take advantage of the vast supply of water to the west. Yes, I’m talking about desalinization. By my reckoning that is the only real, controllable means we have for making potable water. Grey water is fine for agriculture, but nobody is going to want to drink it no matter what it’s final chemistry or how many water district officials gulp some down on TV. All naysayers are encouraged to investigate the desal-tech in operation in the arid Arabian peninsula countries. Ultimately, it is the only real solution to California’s burgeoning finite water supply crisis.
