California could solve their water problem if they wanted. Desalination is a proven technology that could alleviate all of California's problems. Israel gets over 50% of their water from it.

California could power it with nuclear energy; they already have nuclear power plants and they have all of the engineering talent they need to make it happen. They are simply choosing not to solve their problems. In fact they are doing the opposite, they are shutting down their nuclear reactors and exacerbating their water problems by continuing to allow farmers to use all their available water on inefficient crops like almonds.
It's honestly mystifying how a state full of so many smart people and with one-party complete control of politics is unable to solve a basic problem for which they have all the tools. They really don't have any excuses.
Florida, on the other hand, yes they do have a hurricane problem. I don't know what they can do about that.
