How to Realign California and Save the Middle Class

AUDIO: Do you want California to become safe and affordable again? Do you want California’s schools to properly prepare the next generation to lead productive, independent lives? Do you want to realign California’s politics to fill the state legislature with politicians that will enact realistic, nonpartisan, decisive solutions to the challenges facing hard working families trying to live here? Then focus on the three issues that matter: education, law enforcement, and the high cost-of-living. This presentation focuses on these big three issues and proposes specific solutions.

Creating Water Abundance – Total Cost and Capacity

/by

AUDIO: California needs more water. Environmentalists demand increasing percentages of river runoff stay in the rivers to improve fish habitat. Groundwater withdrawals have exceeded rates of recharge for decades. The massive storage dams on the Colorado River are nearly drained. But California has a terrific opportunity to make up these deficits and create water abundance. New off-stream reservoirs, expansion of existing reservoirs, better systems to capture storm runoff, urban wastewater recycling, urban storm runoff capture, and desalination. The recommendations made in this video (best viewed at 2X speed) are an attempt to define the capacity of these project categories, how much they will cost, and how much energy they will require to operate. Edward Ring speaking at the Metropolitan Water District of Orange County Water Policy Forum & Dinner.

Specific Policies to Realign Voters and Fix California

California is in Play

Climate Alarm Distracts from Other Environmental Challenges

How to Fix Water Scarcity in California

/by

AUDIO: On the topic of California’s water challenges and how to fix them, I had a great conversation on March 16, 2023 with Chadwick Hagan on his “Deep Dive” podcast. Please note! In my extemporaneous remarks I may have overestimated how much water they use for farm irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley. I think the more accurate estimate is around 15 million acre feet. I also overestimated how much irrigated farmland there is in the Imperial Valley, and in Arizona. The more accurate estimate is around 500,000 acres each. My apologies. Getting these big picture facts correct is essential if we are serious about solving water scarcity.
