Independent nation, but the water situation is only going to get worse. Leadership in this area is desperately needed, and hoping for a good snowfall in the Sierras just doesn’t hack it anymore.
We need more water reclamation, water recycling. We need to reduce evaporation in our aqueducts and reservoirs. We need desalination. With tons of potential for solar and wind maybe we could export electricity in trade for water from our neighbors to the north. We have to get a handle on this…it’s not going to get better.
