I Oppose shipping Water from the Trinity River to Los Angeles. - (Part of the Delta Tunnel Project) Why Not use Solar Power to Desalinate Seawater?

As hard as it to believe, there is a plan to use pipes to move freshwater from the Trinity Alps near Redding, California and provide drinking water to LA...

The problem with that is SALMON need that water to spawn in. The Trinity merges with Oregon's Klamath river and flows to the sea. Fishermen from around the world travel to the Klamath to go Fly-Fishing. There is a large business providing motel rooms, food and river guides to the tourists.

An alternative would be to Desalinate the ocean water near San Diego. A Solar system could boil the water and produce pure H2O, Salt and Electricity... Everybody Wins!

Use Sunshine to distill water

When the Steam cools, it falls from the sky as rain. 

Solar Desalinization Project

Solar Desalination would change Seawater into Steam + Salt + Electricity. Generate pure Water for plants, livestock, drinking, bathing, washing cars or creating perfect ice cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... Since this is distilled water, there maybe there is a way to bottle it and sell it to factories or Nestle... It could be the base for a series of beverages with natural flavorings... fennel for a licorice taste or cinnamon, nutmeg, tea, lemon peels etc. etc. etc.

Please share this information... If we built a hundred of these Solar Desalination plants all along the coast of California, Oregon and Washington we could create a moist rainy climate downwind. Much better than wildfires.

Imagine the big puffy clouds of steam this would create... humid climate downwind.
