    I thought Cali was just shipping all of it's water to China.

    Well, apparently, some want to carve California up. It would be cool to live in Jefferson, though.

    Adams could also get a state.

    Not a bad idea logistically, but bad politically. It'll add way too many bleeding heart liberals to the Senate. There's already more than enough of them wasting taxpayer money.

    No Cali designs the water and brands it iWater

    China then manufacturers the iWater and knock off versions such as iH2O.

    And the world laps it up.

    Somehow Ireland and the Netherlands is where all the iWater money ends up.

    And the US taxpayers need to pay the Cali idesign company a tax credit as it is making a paper loss.

    Hey man, stone heart conservatives can be just as wasteful.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    But seriously, look at alfalfa farming and export in SoCal. I also read that somewhere else in Cali they were using groundwater for farming a different crop for export (maybe sprouts?). Utter lunacy.

    If you want to be serious Western Australia has several sets of water challenges being essentially a desert.

    It uses a desalination plan partially offset by a wind farm:

    So there are options for sunny coastal cities to supply their own water.
