Jay Familglietti, NASA’s top water scientist, recently warned that California has only a year’s supply of water left in storage facilities and the backup groundwater is rapidly depleting. Despite this harrowing fact, California has no backup plan to address this crisis.
“California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain,” stated Familglietti. “In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis.”

Those pens were available for retail, they’re awesome and never go out and can be stored anyway anywhere. Russians are still using pencils.
I guess it is a waste of money when some of the most successful people on the planet are just going to ignore the facts anyway. Imagine the money spent on Congressmen and Senators to legislate against science.
We have seven of them and more being built. They are really expensive. That train is not being built at this time. Only Metro projects.
Been saying the same thing for 20yrs, yet they still keep building.
