Hope they don't t come to Tx, are there Americans in Ca?I saw the news about Oroville yesterday I think. The article I found said it supplied about 80K customers with power. The way things are going in CA who's going to notice. Soon the whole state will be unfit for habitation. Will the last American to leave please bring the flag?
Have to apologize for that one, sorry Ca peopleHope they don't t come to Tx, are there Americans in Ca?
Lake mead and another on the Colorado River (the name escapes me now) are within feet of going below the turbines. Lake mead supplies ALOT of power
Power generating Dam's along the Colorado river that will be impacted are Glen Canyon Dam, (Lake Powell), Hover Dam (Lake Mead), Davis Dam (Lake Mohave), and Parker Dam (Lake Havasu); Total Power Generation at risk on just the Colorado River: 3,773 Mega Watts
Yep if they lost all that they would need a big extension cord.
Other states like Nevada, Utah, and Arizona would also feel the impact...
It's all global warming!Lake Powell is the one I was trying to remember. Some articles I've read speaks to the cut back of water to pre set levels as the lakes fall for the states that draw their water from certain lakes.
Gonna be bad news if they get thru this summer if winter snows and rains are as little as this past winter was.
No thinking ahead, surprised Ca made it this farPower generating Dam's along the Colorado river that will be impacted are Glen Canyon Dam, (Lake Powell), Hover Dam (Lake Mead), Davis Dam (Lake Mohave), and Parker Dam (Lake Havasu); Total Power Generation at risk on just the Colorado River: 3,773 Mega Watts

If Biden visits he won't be able to read the teleprompter. Guess he can take a napIt's all global warming!
Now see, if they all just drove electric cars, we could lower our carbon emissions and they would be...
(Wait a minute, I can't read my 'green notes' because the lights went off ).
Oh no, back to the basement Joe! He's used to dark places!!He can't even eat his ice cream. The freezer won't be on.
Weedy it has always been easy for Cali to take or "buy" cheap water. You are correct that they , as other countries have, could / should build desalinization plants. Problem is, they are giving too many hand outs so likely its unaffordable. The other issue is simply that without fossil fuels, the power grid would never be able to sustain the demands needed to run those plants. It seems like every other plan a certain group creates. They hated the last president and supposedly voted "en mass" for the new regime. Let them reap what they have sown at this point.
And if they actually worked, they would be EVERYWHERE!They could always put in "green" nuclear. LFTR reactors are walk away safe and don't produce long lived waste fuel.
Above said:Claim: Thorium reactors would be more economical than traditional uranium reactors, particularly because thorium is more abundant than uranium, has more energy potential than uranium, and doesn’t have to be enriched.
False. Although thorium is more abundant than uranium, the cost of uranium is a small fraction of the overall cost of nuclear energy.
Additionally, there is technically no such thing as a thorium reactor. Thorium has no isotopes that readily fission to produce energy. So thorium is not usable as a fuel directly, but is instead a fertile nucleus that can be converted to uranium in a reactor. Only after conversion to uranium does thorium become useful as a nuclear fuel. So, even for a reactor that would use thorium within its fuel cycle, most energy produced would actually come from uranium fissions.
Above said:Claim: The waste from thorium reactors would be easier to deal with than waste from today’s uranium reactors.
False. A comprehensive study from the US Energy Department in 2014 found that waste from thorium-uranium fuel cycles has similar radioactivity at 100 years to uranium-plutonium fuel cycles, and actually has higher waste radioactivity at 100,000 years.
It's ok. They would just flush it out to the ocean like they do a majority of their water, you know, to save the delta smelt .There was a plan, many years ago, to build a pipeline from the Unuk River, near where I am now, to California to provide fresh water.
Don't worry, I'm sure they have reversed that and are back to dumping as much fresh water as they can into the ocean, to save the little fishiesAbove said:[2019]The Trump administration has moved to roll back protections for the fish to direct more water to farmers, who are among the president's strongest supporters in the state.
Unprompted, he said in a response to a question about a Green New Deal touted by some Democrats: "California is going to have to ration water. You know why? Because they send millions of gallons of water out to sea, out to the Pacific, because they want to take care of certain little tiny fish that aren't doing very well without water, to be honest with you. But it's a very sad thing that's happening." ...
A 2015 Wall Street Journal op-ed article said that 1.4 trillion gallons of water had been pumped into the San Francisco Bay since 2008 to support the fish. In 2016, Trump, then a presidential candidate, claimed that there was no drought and that policies redirecting water "out to sea" were harming farmers.
