Gavin Newsom boasts California reservoirs ''completely full,'' quickly gets called out

[NYPOST] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin Governor Hair Gel Newsom
Gavin <q>Governor Hair Gel</q> Newsom

...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland...
on Sunday tried to play semantics and weasel out of blame by saying state reservoirs were ''completely full'' when the LA fires broke out — even though a county-run reservoir had been drained at the time.

Newsom made the shocking statement while addressing criticism from President-elect Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
over the state's water management ahead of the infernos.

''The reservoirs are completely full — the state reservoirs here in Southern California. That mis- and disinformation I don't think advantages or aids any of us,'' Newsom told NBC News in a pretaped interview that aired on ''Meet the Press'' on Sunday.

Reporter Jacob Soboroff pressed Newsom on his response by pointing out how the LA-County-run Santa Ynez Reservoir was bone dry — something that even has prompted a probe from Newsom.

Given, there are 11 other smaller counties, which are North and South of L.A. county, producing literally Billions of gallons of fresh safe drinking & fire hydrant water each year.

Other than Santa Monica, which only serves 18,000 customers, and produces about 3.777 Billion Gal fresh water per year.

Why hasn't LA county added more seawater desalination units?

#6 ^ Well, what about the Liberal Lefts answer to any power issue.

Use Solar Power farms,
since downtown LA has 292 days of Sunshine on avg. per year 🤣

#8 Solar Farms take up a lot of real estate, NN2N1.

And that land is really really pricey around LA.

Of course, they could pull an 'Eminent Domain' and just appropriate it, I guess.

#9 Why lie like Baghdad Bob when everyone can check to see the water level over the last nine months pretty easily using the internet? You have to do better gaslighting than that,.

#10 A lot of centrally-located, prime real estate has recently become available for solar farms. Might as well make lemonade out of thousands of lemons! /sarc

#13 It doesn't matter if the reservoirs are full if you can't get water from the reservoirs to the fire hydrants. Democrats have a disturbing tendency to overlook basic facts like that.

#14 Why hasn't LA county added more seawater desalination units?

It'd take years, decades probably, to get approvals from all the layers of government in this state for such a unit.

The bigger problem is that people like Newsom believe everybody in the whole, wide world should be able to live in California in spite of the fact that we simply don't have the infrastructure or the resources to support the population we already have. The only way to make it affordable for all the people who want to live here is to turn the entire state into a giant, Third World slum and Newsom is hell bent on doing exactly that.

#15 Why hasn't

Why, you could power a big one with nuclear for a twofer. I wonder why no one has thought of that.
