It\u2019s been five years now, and things aren\u2019t looking like they\u2019re going to get much better. Back in January of 2014, Governor Brown declared a state of emergency and rolled out a bunch of water-saving plans that everyone promptly pretended they were going use, then forgot all about and went back to watering their lawns. As recently as May of this year, he issued an order to continue saving water, but no one could hear him because they were inside the car wash. But despite the fact that lawns are still green and cars are still shiny in Southern California, the drought is a very real problem.<\/p>\n<p>After a massive El Ni\u00f1o veered north and failed to drop as much rain in Southern California as expected, forecasters predicted that La Ni\u00f1a would show up this winter, compounding the problem. El Ni\u00f1o\u2019s little sister, you see, generally means a much drier winter than normal\u2013which is not what Southern California\u2019s parched, cracking earth needs. But a Canadian Engineering firm might\u2019ve come up with a beautiful solution: a desalinization plant unlike any other. Simply called \u201cThe Pipe,\u201d it\u2019s a solar-powered design that is capable of making over a billion gallons of fresh water from the sea.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinertia.com\/environment\/solar-powered-desalinization-plant-could-be-the-answer-to-californias-drought-disaster\/#modal-close\" target=\"_blank\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Inertia Solar Powered Desalinization Plant Could Be The Answer to California\u2019s Drought Disaster By Alexander Haro August 28, 2016 &#8220;It\u2019s no secret that California is in the middle of a long, severe drought.
