Instead of building reservoirs CA built storm drains and sent all that water right into the ocean and then cry when things burn. Real brilliant, people.
City of Long Beach is in the process of building a water treatment plant for the storm drains. We'll pump the water to the treatment plant first.
 
Since there is so much money in California, maybe they should consider desalination plants? Pump that water to the reservoirs, and create a surplus
Actually, decades ago a desalination plant was built at Santa Barbara, we were involved on the controls side of it. The city promptly mothballed it. Then in 2017 they modernized and reactivated it due to droughts. Today it provides about 30% of the city water supply. The city was lucky in that they kept the permit active as it would be an impossible task in the current environmental regulations to build it from scratch.
 
I haven’t had time to look at any details but it seems American Airlines has lost an ESG lawsuit. It’s another step in the right direction if true,
 
Watching the news and they are interesting several CA govt officials and it is sickening how the finger pointing has begun in earnest.
California residents need to wipe the slate and get rid of all of them.
Unfortunately I doubt that will happen.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
