Tragically, these power-hungry desalination plants will be<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><b>running primarily on fossil fuel-generated electricity<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">, meaning that California residents will have to commit global warming crimes (i.e. producing carbon dioxide) every time they flush their toilets or take a shower.<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">Fresh water, in other words, is about to have a &#8220;fossil fuel consumption equivalent&#8221; across the state. Every gallon of water consumed will have a calculable CO2 emission profile and mercury pollution factor, meaning that<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><b>a person will not be able to live in California without being a global warming sinner.<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">California, of course, is the state that prides itself on being progressive and environmentally conscious. Yes its non-sustainable lifestyle consumed the region&#8217;s limited fossil water supplies to the point of near-collapse. Now, it must become America&#8217;s worst carbon dioxide producer just to provide basic water supplies to its people. And where will all the natural gas and coal come from that powers these desalination plants?<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\"><b>The very same energy-producing states that Californians typically condemn for producing fossil fuels<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<h1>Flush a toilet and you destroy the planet<\/h1>\n<p><span class=\"ecxApple-style-span\">Most eco-conscious Californians are unaware that the energy they use comes predominantly from fossil fuels. (<a href=\"http:\/\/energyalmanac.ca.gov\/electricity\/total_system_power.html\" target=\"_blank\">See source.<\/a>) Natural gas &#8212; which produces carbon dioxide when burned &#8212; generates almost half the state&#8217;s electricity. Coal generates another eight percent or so, meaning that\u00a0<b>fossil fuels provide the majority of California&#8217;s electricity<\/b>. (Renewables only provide about 18 percent, and nuclear provides another nine percent or so.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What this means is that as more and more desalination plants come online, they&#8217;ll be using primarily fossil fuels to process water &#8212; an energy-intensive operation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A $1 billion desalination plant to supply booming San Diego County is under construction here and due to open as early as November, providing a major test of whether California cities will be able to resort to the ocean to solve their water woes,&#8221; reports the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/04\/12\/science\/drinking-seawater-looks-ever-more-palatable-to-californians.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times<\/a>. &#8220;Plans are far along for a large plant in Huntington Beach that would supply water to populous Orange County. A mothballed plant in Santa Barbara may soon be reactivated. And more than a dozen communities along the California coast are studying the issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As each of these plants comes online, they will add an extremely high energy cost to the water consumed by California residents. Every act that consumes water &#8212; washing your hands, watering a garden, flushing a toilet &#8212; will carry a\u00a0<b>heightened ecological cost<\/b>. When water simply falls out of the sky, consuming that water is ecologically sound. But when water has to be procured using extremely energy-intensive desalination systems, it can no longer be considered a &#8220;green&#8221; resource.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Desalination plants] will use a huge amount of electricity, increasing the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming, which further strains water supplies,&#8221; writes the New York Times, reiterating what the liberal media calls &#8220;concluded science&#8221; which claims modern-day global warming is almost entirely caused by human activity. If that&#8217;s the case, however, then Californians who consume water produced by desalination plants must categorize themselves as\u00a0<b>global warming sinners<\/b>\u00a0who are destroying the planet every time they drink a cup of water.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/049338_desalination_global_warming_California_drought.html#ixzz3XLb4TBgs\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/049338_desalination_global_warming_California_drought.html#ixzz3XLb4TBgs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Learn more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/049338_desalination_global_warming_California_drought.html#ixzz3XLZmDjau\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/049338_desalination_global_warming_California_drought.html#ixzz3XLZmDjau<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIKE ADAMS EXPOSED: \u00a0Energy-hungry desalination plants will turn all California residents into global warming sinners and destroyers of life &#8211; NaturalNews.com Comment: Does Mike Adams believe in &#8220;fossil fuels&#8221; and global warming? \u00a0Well you read HIS article.
