Message 34313372 voted 12-0 to reject a proposal to build a desalination plant in Orange County, just south of Los Angeles. The plant would have been privately funded and would have yielded a drought-proof 55,000-acre-feet of fresh water every year. Poseidon Water, the company whose application had been denied, spent two decades and over $100 million submitting paperwork to multiple federal, state, regional, and local agencies—including engineering blueprints that had to be revised and resubmitted repeatedly to comply with regulations that were not only continuously changing, but in many cases were in conflict with each other...Sorek I desalination plant , located on the coast a few miles south of Tel Aviv in Israel, was built at a capital cost of $2,200 per acre-feet of annual freshwater output. It costs eight times as much to build a desalination plant in California as it does in Israel.
