We know when to use Israeli technology to our advantage: http://carlsbaddesal.com/construction-team "IDE Technologies The subcontractor, IDE Technologies has extensive experience developing engineering, producing and operating advanced desalination facilities, among other water and energy related projects. The firm has been in operation over 45 years as an Israeli state-owned enterprise to create advanced desalination technologies. The firm has researched and developed both thermal and reverse osmosis desalination technologies, with RO having been successfully deployed at scale in large and small scale operations. Currently there are about 400 IDE designed systems operating in 40 countries with a total capacity of about 528 MDG. The firm has large-scale international projects in India and China. In 2008, it completed the world's largest multi-effect distillation technology desalination plant in Jamnagar, India. In 2009-2010, it first completed, and then expanded to double capacity at 52.8 MDG a thermal desalination plant in Tianjin, China, now the country's largest desalination plant. IDE has completed some of the world's largest RO desalination plants, including a 72.3 MDG plant in Ashkelon, Israel and a 91.8 MGD plant in Hadera, Israel. In 2010, the company was awarded a contract for a 108.5 MGD plant in Soreq, Israel. Much of the firm's experience has been in Israel given its origin." |

San Diego is way ahead of the rest of Cali. I disagree. Silicon Valley, San Francisco and Los Angeles are far superior to San Diego both financially and tech wise. Also, San Diego conducts a lot of right wing activity. Its also We know when to use Israeli technology to our advantage: Sure California can always learn from Israel, but Israel still only ranks as the 19th largest economy in the world. Meanwhile California ranks 9th. (which is larger than Russia) |

I noticed that 50 million gallons of fresh (from previously salt water) each day is a pretty significant number for the San Diego Carlsbad area. (I'm surprised that such an accomplishment could come from a largely politically conservative area) |
