ABC: California water officials unanimously struck down a $1.4 billion plan to build a seaside desalination plant amid a water crisis sparked by megadrought and climate change.
The California Coastal Commission, which is responsible for protecting the state’s shores, voted Thursday to deny a permit to seawater desalination developer Poseidon Water to build a desalination plant in Huntington Beach.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was among the supporters for the plan, which promised to produce 50 million gallons of drinking water a day. Steve Sheldon, president of the Orange County Water District, said the plant would make the county “drought resilient.”
Several environmental justice and ocean groups, as well as the commission itself, opposed the project for reasons including environmental conservation, marine life and the eventual increase in water bills.
“The project would kill marine life in about 275 million gallons of seawater per day,” Tom Luster, the commission’s desalination expert, told the panel on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press. more
There is NO hope for these idiots.
Stupid is terminal.
silly people! … they don’t want to solve problems … they want to create more problems!
The Great Reset™️ needs all the boost it can get … fast-track this phucker!
Many of these environmental groups just plain hate people. Especially poor people. Ladies and gentlemen: your California Democrat party.
First cut the food supply, then the water.
Desperate people do desperate things.
They have to start the retaliation before Nov.

If any place on the planet needed a monster douche, it’s California.
What about the Nuke subs in the fleet that do this 24/7 reliably?
“Let them drink cake!”
Apparently, they don’t believe a climate change megadrought is a real concern.
look on the bright side … when the oceans rise, they’ll have more water
… right?
I have given up trying to understand these children. They think vegetables come from Whole Foods and water comes from bottles.
& when they are no longer able to get vegetables from Whole Foods … they’ll burn that sucker down!
The Great Reset™️ is counting on it … Comrade
You folks are missing the big picture; people drive too much, drink too much water, consume too many resources, dirty the air, and are toxic to a viable thriving planet.
Between killing babies in the womb, street crime, and premeditated food shortages, we can widdle down the population to a manageable level. Zero would be optimal. The elimination of a rapacious human species would be a net benefit.
These people fully support Thanos, with the supposition that they will not be in the half that gets pulverized when he snaps.
Gavin Newsom probably thought that it might drain the ocean.
See, there is no climate change, you guys are right! They believe you, hope you all are now happy. What is it, right is might? Let them all die. Goodby.
In the late 90’s the Royal Crown Colony of Gibraltar built a small reverse osmosis water desalination plant. The plant supplies 100% of the colony’s water needs and allowed them to close out the massive water storage cisterns within the Rock and allow the water catchment area on the east side of the arock to revert back to a natural state.
Libidiots.
Cruise ships use desalination. Are they going to ban them from docking in CA?
…just tell ’em Muzzies do it, so that makes it racyst or something to say it’s bad.
At LEAST make them squirm and demonstrate their cognitive dissonance a little bit…

Beachmom – Finally an explanation to why the oceans have not been rising!
Cruise ships have been desalinizing the excess!
“Starving them takes too long. Cut off their water!”
“And climate change” – probably 10 million new residents from the extreme south of the border put a little pressure on dwindling supply, no?
Wonder why that’s not mentioned…
You have to admit the problem is mismanagement before anything can be done.
Probably too late now; they’re rationing life itself now.
