Because the US has plenty of free water that's growing alfalfa in the desert. Subsidies are unnecessary.

- sophacles 3y agoAre you sure? The alfalfa itself is subsidized. (I mean subsidies besides giving all the water to the farmers thing).
- mcdonje 3y agoYeah, the subsidies are actually the problem.
- mcpackieh 3y agoSome parts of the US have too much fresh water, other parts have too little. Fresh water is a regional matter; you're talking about the American Southwest, particularly California, specifically. But this conversation is about desalination generally, and particularly Israel.
