    For that reason, I'm advocating for ocean desalination preferably via the Gulf of California. Pulling seawater that could be desalinated either in Mexico or California (or both) is much closer than transiting water from the Mississippi.

    I wonder why California, the much larger and wealthier state that's right on the Gulf of California and which also suffers from chronic water shortages hasn't already done this.

    Eh, probably no major practical or financial reason.

      California doesn't touch the gulf of California. Its the water between Baja California and mainland Mexico. His back up plan is begging Mexico.

        Huh, today I learned.

        Does make it way worse that his go-to strategy is extracting resources from the global south, though that's par for course now.

        Pipe the desalinated water into a reservoir, build a dam to generate power exclusively for "green" Bitcoin.

      Never have I read such a salty article.
