American Southwest Could Face Megadrought This Century

[politicallefty]

Inland states seem to be screwed more than anybody else. The West Coast can tap into the ocean through desalination plants and they should. If it can be done in the Middle East, it can surely be done in this country. I do consider myself an environmentalist, but water needs take precedence and it can be done in a way to minimize any environmental costs. Ideally, California will have vast solar arrays that provide the energy for such plants; clean energy that produces clean water.
