Coastal Commission Approves Water Factory

by The Editors on August 7, 2008

What can we say? We don’t like the idea, but it appears that Poseidon Resources has sung and danced for the California Coastal Commission long enough to get the board’s approval for their proposed $300-million desalination plant in Carlsbadistan’s lagoon.

The commission tentatively approved the project in November but with 22 conditions involving finding ways to minimize damage to fish and plants and to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the salt-water-to-fresh process. A majority of commissioners agreed, in a series of votes, that the company has satisfied the conditions.

Right. But what about the fish along our beaches?
