The nation must spend billions of this clean energy money to help build dozens of desalination plants on the West Coast, where a severe drought is drying up the rivers and land.<\/span><\/div>\n
But they won’t.<\/span><\/div>\n
Why?<\/span><\/div>\n
Because it works, and politicians can’t think beyond their next election. Most have the attention span of spider monkeys and will find a way to reinvent the wheel in their districts because it will bring jobs to their constituents.<\/span><\/div>\n
San Diego has a privately-owned desalination plant, and it pumps 50 million gallons of ocean water every day to the city.<\/span><\/div>\n
Think about it. That’s 50 million gallons of ocean water every single day to the city of San Diego.<\/span><\/div>\n
So why can’t desalination plants be used to send water from the ocean to rivers, reservoirs, and cities \u2014 24\/7. Start state co-operations to build these desalination plants and share in the costs and profits of getting water from the ocean.<\/span><\/div>\n
“We make clean, safe water from a drought-proof source – the ocean, according to the private company that owns the plant,” the desalination plant website stated.<\/span><\/div>\n
“The Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant is the largest, most technologically advanced and energy-efficient seawater desalination plant in the nation. Each day, the plant delivers nearly 50 million gallons (56,000 acre-feet per year (AFY)) of fresh, desalinated water to San Diego County \u2013 enough to serve approximately 400,000 people and accounting for about one-third of all water generated in the County. “<\/span><\/div>\n
