The Los Angeles Desalination Project Proposal is a proposal to build a new desalination plant powered with built-in renewable energy. It would generate new water for Southern California, using a completely renewable energy resource - Transformed Hydraulic Power (THP). This would allow Southern California to be less dependent on the Delta, allowing more water to stay in the Central Valley for farming.
This new plant would produce no Green House Gas emissions and would have no ongoing fuel costs. This is what makes it unique compared to typical desalination plants, which require large amount of electricity.
The key benefits of the Los Angeles Desalination Project are:
1. WATER
Water is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It is needed for agriculture and for personal use. Population growth is only going to increase the demand even further. The Los Angeles Desalination Project will provide new water and reduce demand on the existing water supply.
2. ENVIRONMENT
The technology that will be used for the project, THP, is environmentally friendly. It's a renewable energy source. It would also provide a counter measure to loss of snowpack in the mountains caused by Global Warning.
3. JOBS
A project of this size would be the crown jewel of modern American infrastructure. It would provide solid living wage construction jobs during the building phase and maintenance jobs for the long term.
What needs to happen to move this project forward?
A Feasibility Study needs to be completed. It would be conducted by a third party to examine the viability and costs of building an underground state-of-the-art desalination plant in Los Angeles with built-in renewable energy.
