Conservative news commenters on the California drought

[IDemo]

A pattern seems to be emerging in the comment sections of virtually every article I have read concerning the drought situation. One can almost hear the squeals and clicks of their Hayes modems as they dial in for their daily buzzwords.

A bullet train pops up in each and every thread, and it's aimed squarely at the pocketbooks of citizens reaching for a cool glass of water from the neighborhood desal plant.

Liberals, and Governor Moonbeam in particular, secretly conducted weather experiments to destroy snowpack levels in the Sierra Nevadas. Or, conversely, they prevented the construction of dozens of reservoirs that would have magically filled with non-existent runoff water.

for the region. And still there was a gross over commitment of the available water. Now it is time to pay the piper. For starters, the whole region needs to get serious about water conservation. That includes banning use of sprinkler irrigation of lawns, among other things. Instead, offer incentives to homeowners to xeriscape their home landscapes.

Agriculture as well will need to revert to dry land farming and use of highly efficient forms of irrigation such as drip irrigation under plastic - which work quite well for vegetable and fruit production in California and Arizona.
