Streamlining permit for desalination plants

[Noctis]

California plans to streamline permitting related to desalination plants for better water supply. Our water bills will skyrocket, but do we have better options? Maybe we can avoid it once we can better utilize greener energy sources. I also hope the project won't impact ocean life negatively.

I do think solar or wind energy is one of the key aspects of a sustainable system. We may need to build more offshore plants to further minimize the environmental impact. I'm sure we will be able to find the balance. The prices may be justifiable as long as our money is used properly.

I've read about this in the newspaper. It's supposedly meant to increase California's water supply and will mostly deal with coastal cities. Do you think it will work?
