as of 2002, TX had 100 desalination plants... 40-50 MGD
If this is the kinda guy the right wants for president, we are in for some real hard times. LOL!
August 25, 2011
Burned trees, charred wildlife, destroyed homes Texas has endured more than 16,000 wildfires since January, which have consumed over 3 million acres of land. With little rain, the state has become a tinderbox. Bloomberg reports that drought in Texas has resulted in $5.2 billion of agricultural losses ... and still counting. The state climatologist pegged the drought as the worst single-year dry spell in 116 years, according to the San Antonio Express-News. The town of Robert Lee in West Texas has seen its water supply dwindle to 1 percent and West Kemp is out of water.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, the new darling of the GOP presidential field, leapt to action. His response to catastrophe?
I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on those days for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life.
All the praying didnt pay off. The federal government has been forced to declare 213 counties in Texas natural disaster areas, and the drought has already resulted in fish kills and will likely cause an ecosystem-wide ripple of destruction for years to come, affecting everything from plants to top predators, and insects to migrating birds. Ranchers are selling off their herds, residents are using water for the bare minimums of drinking, cooking and cleaning. Towns are trying to drill emergency wells or run pipes to tap neighboring towns that have more water left. Other communities are making plans to truck in bottled water or drink treated wastewater.

Yep, here in non-business friendly Cali, thanks to the liberal politicians and strangling policies, businesses are abandoning this state in droves. Many have ended up in Texas, and other business friendly southwestern states.If this is the kinda guy the right wants for president, we are in for some real hard times. LOL!

Wow, I knew you guys were desperate but this is a new low. Texas is one of the few places in the country where the economy is doing OK. People are moving there in droves DESPITE the weather because there are jobs there.

Anybody need a prime example of how liberal policies destroy economies, just look at what they've done to this state.

So there you have it, it is better to let the water use go to 1%, let the cattle die, the produce turn to dust, food prices go sky high, because............It would cost to much.
Let me guess.... You could easily come up with a way to fund it... right?
Right here: Texas Net Revenue by Source - Fiscal 2010
Don't let the truth scare you. I think that is all well and good. But people are going to need water, and Perrys prayers are not going to give it to them. And I don't want a President praying for an invisible god to do things while Americans are dying, or missiles are coming in, etc. I don't believe in his god because he doesn't exist.
How is Rick Perry Governing working out for Texas?
The oil business is the only one booming; the retail gasoline market is based in Texas. Perry isn't responsible for the drought (the point of the post was that his prayer offensive was lame); nor is he by and large responsible for any jobs being created; the fortunes of the market did that.

Yes, it was just pure luck that while the rest of the country went to Hell in a hand basket, Texas improved. Policies of the state government had nothing to do with it, right? Things just magically got better, right?

As a resident of both America and Texas, this is completely wrong.
The damage Rick Perry has done to this state's future is appalling.

Oh come on, you are trying to shift the blame here, and old worn out con game of throw your undesirables under the liberal bus and hope he sticks. He is a republican to the core, he is your baby, so stop the lying in the face of overwhelming evidence. I bet you even voted for him on the republican ticket.

Sounds like they need 100 more. The only man-made means I know to end draughts, is filling up the aquafiers and irrigation flooding. Fresh water is getting scarce and we sit doing nothing about it. The biggest use and disappearance of our water is what leaves the US as vegetable & fruit products. We are literary comitting suicide by exports.
You honestly want to make the case that Barack Obama has done a better job for the future of America than Rick Perry has done for the future of Texas? Go ahead, TexArcher...I'm dying to see you pull that rabbit out of your hat.
