The State of California took an unprecedented move today [June 14] by uniformly restricting water supplies across the entire state. Farms will be most affected, although food prices aren't anticipated to rise in any hurry: imports from out of state continue apace. It's notable that this is a problem Silicon Valley hasn't been helping to solve.
Will this move force some much-needed modernization upon the infrastructure supporting the state's 38 million residents? Or will things continue to be corn, corn, corn for the time being?

"They need nuclear power from some inland states away from the faults, and desalination plants along the coast and along the bay. It's not rocket science, but maneuvering this through California's dysfunctional political system will be harder to do."
California's really well good luck getting nuclear built anywhere in this world. Unless it is in place where the government has total control over the population the anti-nuclear wako's will be all over it like flies on shit, but don't you know they still want to reduce the fossil fuel use somehow magically without it. Solar, wind and tidal are not totally there yet but getting increasingly useable but you still need that massive base load power from somewhere just don't let it be nuclear according to them.
