@abhishikhaa what did Tesla say about the tax credit that expired at midnight? Did you still get it or will the company compensate you?

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@SenToniAtkins you voted for #AB1000 in the assembly. Are you really going to hold up a Senate vote now? Would look bad given how much Cadiz has donated to you. Why not let Senators do what they are elected to do? Decide and vote, yes or no. Suspense file is an affront.

@red_delphinium @KenneyGeoSci @KimDelfinoDOW @TDSIanJames Or how he feels about the use of the term “peer review” in the context of his work. Has it appeared in a peer reviewed journal like this new study?

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@KenneyGeoSci @red_delphinium @KimDelfinoDOW @TDSIanJames True or false: you were paid by Cadiz for your work. Second, how do you reconcile the isotope data in this new study? Third, isn’t the point of science to build on old knowledge with new data and study? Honest questions.

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@LPAWater @CadizWater Honest question - how do you reconcile the isotope issue?

MWD: #Cadiz could add carcinogens to SoCal water supply;aqueduct lacks capacity @kdeleon @senricardolara @Rendon63rd https://t.co/31uEo5wSCs

@LPAWater @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara @Sia @steveyeun @MarkFenstermake Naturally the 75K will be in the early years. Just a coincidence that maximizes $$$$. Got reverse that flow and "conserve" evaporation lol

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@LPAWater @chanceofraincom Sprinklers have been around a while.... so have water tanks...

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@LPAWater @chanceofraincom Eg if sprinklers are so vital they could simply install a water tank at the trestle. Why haven't they done this?

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@LPAWater Under this logic absolutely anything can be done on a ROW so long as 0.00000001% is used for a "railroad". @chanceofraincom

@botabox @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara Lots of Snakes and Ladders to come before this thing gets off the ground.

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara They also have to get Apollo to fund. Will they with AB1000 or successors hanging out there?

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara They will likely have to remove C-6 before entering CRD. The "we'll just dilute it with clean water" argument is a third rail.

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara The still need to get a deal with MWD on the aqueduct, if they can. Deal with Chromium-6 (Has the Atec system ever been deployed at scale?)

Our commitment to the Mojave. @SupportAB1000 @canislatrans @chanceofraincom @SenFeinstein @laurafriedman43 @kdeleon @realDonaldTrump @Sia

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

Risking the Mojave Desert by draining its aquifer to fill a man made lake for rich people in Mission Viejo. WTF! @kdeleon @SupportAB1000

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara They even admit they will be overdrawing the aquifer to reverse flow to dry lakes. Debate on impact of evaporation loss, dew, dust, etc.

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @chanceofraincom @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara Designed by Cadiz &?SB county that took lots of Cadiz $$$. Many years of establishing "baseline" then more about compensating local farmers

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara @chanceofraincom It will ultimately be "settled" about 15 years after pumping starts. And if settled like many think the desert will be fooked.

[Desert Friends @SaveTheDeserts]

@botabox @canislatrans @SupportAB1000 @kdeleon @senricardolara @chanceofraincom No. Lawsuits were mainly jurisdictional challenging conflicted SMWD as lead agency. Science is far from settled.
