How do you plan to power desal plants? LADWP is still importing coal fueled electricity from Utah. Not to mention all of the petroleum and natural gas plants scattered around California.

Before we have desalination, we need more renewable energy.

We could start by not shutting down our the last nuclear power plant in California in 2025 that currently provides 10% of the states electricity.
Sure. But even with that plant we depend on fossil fuels. So it is clearly not a complete option.
