You don't use the water, the water company hike up the price anyway. The wealthy were wise to see how counterproductive the water restriction was in the first place.
This all has more to do with taxes when it does with water.
LOL. You expect anyone to actually believe that? Not even close to being true. Even if you damned the northern rivers of the state, it still wouldn't be true.
Just highlights what I've been saying for years just hypocritical environmental wackos are. SO which is worse for the environment wackos, a racist, homophobic climate denier that drives an electric car, has a solar system at his house, is frugal with electricity and water usage OR the biggest environmental wacko star (Al Gore for example) that flies in his own large private jet spewing millions of gallons of burnt carbon in the atmosphere, lives in a 20,000 square foot house and has 6 more similar houses that he flies around and uses on his whim?
I know the answer, they will want to fine the homophobic climate denier until he's broke while paying millions and burning millions of gallons of fuel to the environmental wacko and give him millions for speeches. You guys sicken me.
Dude, you don't even know what you're talking about.
"An estate owned by philanthropist and former media mogul David Geffen used an average of about 27,000 gallons of water a day between June 2 and Aug. 2 —"
That's a lot of water. I wonder if his automatic sprinkler system went nuts and never clicked off.
Dude, you don't even know what you're talking about.
Since you have gone to a personal attack and not addressed my correct analysis, you are agreeing that I'm right...gracias.
Loretta 'Super Dummy' Lynch wants to fine "climate deniers"....not the likes of Al Gore causing 1 million times more environmental harm than a 'climate denier.'
So these few celebrity homes listed use roughly the same amount of water as a small hospital. Difference is a small hospital's water usage involves cooking, bathing, sterilizing, and the heating and cooling system for the building to care for patients.
Landscape for the climate you have, not the climate you wish you had.
Why wouldn't your "landscape" consist almost exclusively of native species that have adapted to periods of drought? I live in a coastal area. The native landscape is sand, sea grasses, low-growing scrub bushes, etc. That's exactly what's in my yard, though it's actually a planned layout and not just random wild growth. I never have to water, and my landscape thrives.
Yep, this has nothing to do with political affiliation though. Those affluent owners, whether in CA or NV as well, they are ALWAYS the culprits when it comes to water wasting. Always. God forbid they should forego having an emerald green lawn & lush blooming plants 365. Disgusting.
Uh; maybe NOT "disgusting". No link handy but I read on the Arizona Republic newspaper many years back about how a house with lush landscaping used MUCH less electricity since AC units only needed to run 4 hours a day in a Phoenix summer but, a home in a desert lot in the SAME Zip code used the AC 20 hours out of 24
Who is going to reimburse people whose landscapes are killed due to this? I should have a right to as much water as I can pay for.
You live in Virginia; don't you guys get a lot of rain and snow? Tho water IS harder to come by here in Arizona, to be fair.
