In that case the population is dominated by the suicidally bad water management in CA. You could cut the population by 99% and you would still have a looming water crisis there.

If you build a solar energy farm on the dark side of the moon you shouldn't be blaming the people who want to use the energy, you should be blaming the people who managed the project.

offtopic - it’s not dark side if moon but far side of moon. Both sides get the same amount of sunlight - 2 weeks of sun and 2 weeks of darkness.

I assume you mean the far side of the Moon.

A solar panel on the dark side wont be much use.

But then people have discussed landing on the Sun at night.
