While I agree that it's stupid the things that California is exempting from water restrictions, that graphic is misleading. Sure, the toilet only uses 1.6 gallons per flush, but if you figure that the population of California is approximately 38.8 million, and let's say every person in the state only flushes their toilet once a day, that comes out to 62.08 million gallons per day and 2.266 billion gallons of water per year. And that's toilet use only and I'm sure that number is a conservative approximation. Althought for people like infants that do not use the toilet, there are many, many people that go multiple times and multiple flushes per day.
true, and its a hell of a lot more water than fracking uses.
BUT
the big key here is....
corporations go lobby the government and buy their exemption from the "law"
we little people have no such options.
the more immediate problem is that fracking never made ANY financial sense...
until all of a sudden, oil was made so preposterously expensive that it....still didnt make sense, but people could get a 0% loan and frack away and rake themselves in some money
now that all of this stuff has been built, its time to crunch everyone that bought in at the fool's time, and buy it up for pennies on the dollar, at the rich man's time.

ok.... so then you are aware that the opening of the dams until they were just about empty was done on purpose and because of "water rights" with some companies having the money to buy law, and all of the little farmers who dont have the money to buy law, were not able to buy law...
and I'm sure its just coincidence that a lot of the smaller farmers were anti GMO...
funny that, because Ukraine, breadbasket of ussr, was also anti GMO...
