[decentrality]

Seeing the Lake Powell level decline ( and knowing that also means electricity, not just water shortfalls in the future for the Western Coast ) it does seem all this conservation and logistics thinking might have had a chance to be meaningfully effective if it started around 2010 at the latest, and been completed now, or within 5 years. Best get ahead of this rather than chase the target.

Anyone who traveled through "The Dust Bowl" or the Salton Sea as mentioned, or looked at the end of the Colorado River, which now does not make it to the Gulf of Mexico, knows that California in particular is on a knife's edge when it comes to water, and electricity.

Needs to be a paradigm shift here, and one that is sustainable from the start, rather than micro improvements and figuring out things that are decades past being common sense.
