No abandonment fantasy: but how are the states and federal government going to come up with billions of dollars that are going to make life easier for a handful

No abandonment fantasy: but how are the states and federal government going to come up with billions of dollars that are going to make life easier for a handful of farmers and rich Californians? You think the the constituents of the southern and eastern states will vote for 100s of billions of tax money to be spent on something they see as helping liberal coastal dwellers? How much is all that central valley land worth with ongoing saltwater intrusion? Where will you get the gigawatts needed to run all the water pumps? New hydro dams? You are throwing out a solution as if it's easy and feasible. It is certainly not easy, and feasibility , well... We shall see.
