"What are the people in San Fran going to drink if you pump their water into the San andreas Fault?"

How do you know it would take all of it? IIRC, the linchpin of the fault is at Palmdale, it might not take a lot. Besides, San Francisco was a lot smaller some 30 years ago when this was originally proposed. What Scumbria was complaining about was the Republican attitude of "why be proactive when we can put this off until it becomes a real catastrophe?". Now true, you often don't know all of the changes the future will bring and some problems actually do solve themselves. But the San Andreas has measurably been building up pressure, and Californians don't really have the option to bail out when problems appear, like Smirk did when his tax cut bill became due in Texas...
