Santa Barbara our county seat had a de-sal plant they built many years ago and never used it. They took it apart and sold it to someone else :BangHead:. Of course the reservoir that supplies most of their water barely has enough water to support tadpoles now :soapbox:. All the recyclable plastic bottles would plug up the de-sal water intakes every 5 minutes anyway :lol:

That’s what kills me . Companies like that get millions of tax payer money but it never ever actually benefits the citizens . Back in 2009 we had a Canadian based solar power company basically lobby themselves into a deal with the state to use emminent domain to force a friend of mine to sell his 2.5 million dollar race shop and adjoining land for the purpose of building solar panels. They got the state and feds to label them as a public utility and forced the county to re-zone the area. With the real estate market the way it was, they got the building for about a million. Plus got roughly 6 million from local and state governments. Three months , the company disappeared off the face of the planet. Now, that building is a fire extinguisher factory. Crazy.
