That's distract.
In California, voters show no appetite for reform. The last major effort was taking down Gray Davis, who was replaced by Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger sold out pretty quickly. However, the idea that California is going to get rid of rice farming is ludicrous. It would make more sense to get rid of cotton farming, as that isn't a natural for California. Yet, it's profitable. So explain to me where there is a political consensus in California to do that. Near my house, there was a political consensus to stop the tunnel project, but that still didn't stop Southern California municipalities from buying up the Webb Tract and a bunch of land in the area to try to take even more water from the Sacramento river to ship down to Southern California--leaving Suisun Bay brackish. Killing it is one of the few things Newsome has done right.
In my town, we have recycled water used for irrigating the public parks. There's enough recycled water to pipe it back to houses for irrigation use too, but they don't return it to consumers. So we use potable water for watering lawns, etc. That type of thing should become mandatory in SoCal, because it is a desert. Yet, it's not done because of cost.
Sacramento recently allowed PG&E to kill the solar bill of rights too. Yes, this is "green" California with an all Democrat government.
Solar Bill of Rights introduced in CaliforniaMaybe we can get it passed with the blackouts creating new political pressure. However, politicians are easily bought.
