You need to start embracing the fact that Southern California is changing and WILL, I repeat WILL continue to do so in the LONG-TERM for the better, including learning to how to live off Desalinated water and Non-Fossil fuels such as Ethanol, Nuclear, compressed air and water, and clean coal.
And you(and many others) really need to stop accusing me of talking alot of ridiculous claims and sit back and contemplate and logically conclude that Southern California WILL become the Nation's most Populous region.
Put this in Perspective:
In the 70's Palmdale wasn't much of anything, just a small town. Nobody believed it would become the largest city in L.A. County outside the basin.
I rest my case. End of story.

I'd be
were this not so pathetic. Why do I even bother?
Are you calling compressed air and water "fuels"? They aren't even an energy source, just a storage medium! You use more energy producing them than you get out of using them! Why do we have to "learn
how to live off of desalinated water"? Where will the non-existent energy come from to power such efforts? Our electrical grid is nearly tapped out as it is. Remember rolling blackouts, anyone? Ethanol has an unfavorable ERoEI, I'd call it a joke were it not for the fact it's such a massive immoral boondoggle. And when was the last nuclear power plant completed in the U.S.? Answer: 1996, and it took 24 years to build it - in the Tennessee Valley. There are no firm plans to build another plant
anywhere in the U.S. (you can forget about one in California). "Clean coal" is an oxymoron.
I think we should be asking ourselves
if SoCal
should be the nation's most populous region, and why the hell would any of us want it to be, other than for bragging rights? What that's positive do we stand to gain at this point? Really think about it.
Same size resource pie/more people = reduced standard of living.
Is it really that hard to comprehend?
