@cnn: Situated along the Texas coast, residents of Corpus Christi are staring down a water crisis, as a five-year drought and commercial demand has depleted the city’s reserves to historic lows.
Sounds like those 12 companies should foot the bill for the desalination plant. 👀

The big businesses who are using all the water should have to make cut backs on water use.

It is a coastal city, and it's about to run out of water. That's what living in Texas is like.

But the businesses don’t have to conserve at all, right?! Oh and let me guess, they probably also get tax breaks.

We can build miles and miles of pipe for oil, why can’t we build pipes for water? Or what about salinization? Hell the ocean levels are rising. There is plenty of water.

It’s probably because of all the data centers and how much water they use a day look up how much data centers use of water

Reminder that Greg Abbott has been in charge for 3 terms, knew this was an issue, and did nothing about it. Please don’t vote him in for a 4th term.
