Democrats Poised to Use Corpus Christi’s Last Drops of Water
Democrats to “urge conservation” for their state convention.
Texas Democrats issued a press release apologizing for the impact their existence is having on the planet, then confirmed the consumption would proceed as planned.
Democrats ensured the public they would “take steps to “minimize [their] impact” on Corpus Christi’s water supply, a Texas city that is running out of water despite being on the ocean, which has an infinite supply of water for human use via membrane technology invented in the 1960’s.
Keep in mind, Corpus Christi now has a water crisis so bad that Abbott has teased a state takeover to fix the problem, essentially citing negligence as the reason for their water crisis. A popular petition has called for the mayor’s removal.
If the last state Democrat convention is any indicator, while delegates will ignore aquatic guidelines, it’s unlikely they’ll seriously impact Corpus Christi’s water supply. These events tend to be eerily empty; no word on if there’s a furry gathering like at a previous Texas Democrat convention.
While the choice to keep their convention at Corpus Christi might be tone deaf, there could be other factors at play. With past whining about “environmental racism” nagging at those wanting to improve Texan’s water supply, and potentially sabotaging future efforts, this may be Democrats taking a victory lap.
In a nutshell, bureaucracy and DEI Civil Wrongs laws are a reason why Texas can’t have mass-desalinization to fix our water shortages, unlike Israel (90% of Israel’s fresh water is made via desalination.) Other regions around the globe don’t have to worry about water scarcity, despite their climates; why should Texas?
El Paso has been drinking desalinated water for almost 20 years, thanks to Ft. Bliss partnering with the city and bringing federal dollars to build a desalination plant. It was built on Ft. Bliss land, otherwise our city leaders would still be arguing like those in Corpus Christie. The brackish water here is not as salty as sea water but there is still an issue regarding what to do with the minerals removed from the water. That is being solved by burying them in the desert.

Proof: Doing nothing is NEVER the right option.
