Emergency: California is literally almost out of water. When California has no more water, please understand that the stock market will explode and we will enter into world war three. Just remember.. I have been warning you for a couple of years and you all laughed. Now it's checkmate.

This is incorrect, they work fine.

California likely still has all 12 desalination from 2019:

They are scrambling to add more, but bureaucracy and environmental considerations have slowed things:

Desalination plants spew the extra salt, which can be harmful to coastal sea life, so they are most responsibly built farther out to sea, away from the coast, which increases their cost exponentially.
