> Ohio has plenty of water

California has 840 miles of coast line. Absolutely no shortage of water.

Desalination and PV technology keep improving, too.

Desalination is awesome, and I love to see it improve. No matter how good it is, it won’t be cheaper than water that is available in rivers and aquifers.
