    @clacke Sweden's water sounds great.

    I have worked in 15 US states and I have never found a place where tap water tastes good. I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water.

    The worst places were in #Mississippi (Jackson, Starkville #MS), #Louisiana (Baton Rouge #LA) and #California (Irwindale #CA).

    In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water.

    In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #Baton_Rouge, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.

    > CA is losing residents hour-by-hour, many bound for Texas. So much that multiple U-Haul locations have run out of available rentals

    @fu I think there's more to it than that. Remember when #COVID-19 hit and as a result, travel & relocations cratered? Do you think U-haul, Ryder, Penske, etc continued to buy trucks? Not likely. So now, in addition to more people moving now that things are loosening up, there are fewer moving trucks available.

    Automobile rental companies did the same thing.

    But, yes, more US citizens are leaving #CA than are arriving. I think that has been true for about 20 years, but before, there were enough births and international arrivals to continue raising the state's population.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    California's Governor Newsom makes cautious step toward meeting the state's water needs. https://nu.federati.net/url/287349 [www latimes com]

    It is a tiny step, but #California is never going to catch up with its demand with these baby steps. There needs to be a massive statewide effort to meet 100% of projected water requirements for the next fifty years via #desalination. That includes residential, agricultural, industrial, plus supplementing natural rainfall to preserve forests and replenish ground water, and some extra water which can be made available for neighboring states' needs.

    I feel like these #pollies are so busy trying not to displease entrenched interests that they are missing a historic opportunity to lead the way in responding to a 22 year drought that currently affects a giant chunk of the US from California to Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and beyond.

    I was talking to one of my brothers and the subject of the #TX electrical failure came up. I said that we are too smug in #CA, when

    (1) Our homes are not heavily insulated, so if below zero temperatures came, we’d be dependent on utilities not failing.
    (2) The fires in NorCal a few years back revealed that our state Public Utilities Commission is under the control of the utility companies, just like Texas’ privately-owned grid operator. Californians generally use natural gas for heating, instead of electricity, but some of our natural gas utilities have reputations for skimping on maintenance.
    (3) Every time a power company has a “public safety power shutoff”, that’s a reminder that their lack of infrastructure investment threatens the homes and lives of Californians.

    In short, a version of that could happen in #California. I’m not saying it is likely, but remember that Texas’ experience wasn’t likely until it happened.
