These things are cyclical. It will correct itself. In the mean time, CA should be shifting resources from forcing solar down peoples throat to building more desal plants like the one opening around San Diego next year. They have all the water they can use, they just have to use it.
I've always wondered why so many people are worried about water when desal plants are the obvious answer. Maybe it's become a political thing like climate change.

Maybe?

It's expensive. Takes energy to freeze the water to get the salt out (boiling being more energy expensive). Not to mention the initial investment and infrastructure necessary.

You can't think of a single reason why people may be freaking out about having to get the water they use from a multimillion dollar desalination plant as opposed to pumping it out of a reservoir or aquifer?
I guess paying a shitload for water is political, in a sense.
