    Yes, municipal water supplies return their waste water to the rivers/lakes/oceans after it was been cleaned and treated.
    Very unlikely. If Lake Mead runs dry and Central California no longer receives that 80% of the water, they are going to be so fucking pissed off. It would take ten desalination plants to replace Lake Mead. California doesn't need or want money from Nevada. California needs and wants ALL THE FUCKING WATER.

    Nevada is still FUCKED.

    Yeah it looks like desalination plants are in California's near future.

    However, we need to take a lesson from 1991 -- the last time this was being discussed. The drought wasn't as severe as now, but certain areas such as Santa Barbara were really struggling. However, two big back-to-back storms fixed the entire thing in March of that year, and everything was suddenly okay.

    Due to runoff from hills/mountains, one storm saturating the ground, and another right behind it causing massive runoff can fill reservoirs very quickly. That was overlooked in 1991, and it might be overlooked right now. A few big back-to-back storms at the right time in the winter, and we might be BACK.

    100% plausible, at least in terms of short term relief. but without that snowpack, its going to be a dead cat bounce situation if this is a global warming related macro trend towards a dryer west/southwest.

    in any case, i think cali is staring into the abyss right now and has the capital and political homogeny necessary to implement something like desalinization. but of course, no one can afford another crescent dunes debacle.

    Saudi Arabia has zero surface water but unlimited cheap energy. They have some of the highest per capita water use in the world.

    Cali can’t keep pulling water out of the ground or the whole state might become a sinkhole - in before someone says it already is.

    The Ukraine deal isn’t gonna resolve itself soon. You well know the dwindling reserves elsewhere.

    Germany rues the day they got all sensitive and about nuclear and closed their plants. Germany’s current regret marks a landmark turn in energy imo. California can have all the fresh water desalinization plants they want after they commit to nuclear power.

    Capital and political homogeny? Idk but they float some bonds and someone bails them out in a decade or so. Cali can now charge all those electric vehicles too now that everyone is subsidizing EV (Musk) with money no government has. Air conditioners can continue to run in ever increasing heat.

    Buy some UEC @ 3.25/share. Beautiful 10% pop today. Debt free balance sheet. Lotta cash. I hate the term but it’s an asymmetrical trade. Buy some for other Sonatine of the future. I suspect he’ll thank you later.

    California is already a giant sinkhole.
