Once again, lack of 'local' knowledge here...Mr. Bass forgets about another critical component of WWD and that's the Kern County Water Bank.  If you think for one minute WWD is giving up one drop of Delta water for their bank...ain't gonna happen under the current configuration.  AND, some solar technologies require more water to process the energy than their 'high value' crops do, oh and so does extracting oil...all high-volume users of water, FYI)
