      • Floating black death, watch, L.A. is going to be super short on water when it evaporates because of these balls and when the bacteria starts to grow it will be boosting sales of Imodium/Pepto Bismoll/Toilet Paper/and preparation H.From the L.A. basin to the Diarrhea Basin in one "swift" move...

  • While I sorry for the few normal people that have not been able to flee Kookafornia yet, the other S4B's ask for the idiocy by continually elected fruitcakes. You asked for it, you got it!

    • They are elected by the drooling, liberal,gimme free shit low life's, and dumber than a box of dirt asshats in L.A., and San Francisco/OaKland.

  • Did you see the millions of gallons of drinking water made available through his "water solution"?
    I missed that myself, punishing water users will not end the drought.

    • It is all about control....Perhaps if we stopped importing Invasive Mexicans by the thousands we would use less water, along with not using billions of gallons for fish and hollywood lawns...

      • But,....the Hollywood elites aren't watering their lawns with, like, water water. It's not like that.

        • I see, like the James Taylor song, "you've got a friend"...you now have a friend....A quicker thumber downer....

  • In our local reservoir we let out 15% of our total usage to save Steelhead trout, which BTW are not native. !% MUTHA F*CKING PERCENT everyday.

  • Since these reservoirs are where Californians get their drinking water, I can't help wondering what these balls are made of. Plastic? Like the plastic in water bottles that is supposed to be a health hazard? The black balls won't degrade in the hot sun and ooze petrochemical-based chemical compounds into the drinking water? Ten or twelve years down the road, will Californians start giving birth to three-headed babies?

    Idiotic.

    • Well, maybe the chemicals will cause idiocy in the general population. Oh, wait. I see they already have that.

      • The three headed babies are already here, they are in the legislature and since they have three heads they get three votes...

  • I just can't believe this!!!
    When this first came out I was thinking.."doesn't black absorb light and become warmer?"

    I'm not a scientist, but even I knew that!!!

  • This is kinda racist...Why didn't they use white balls? (besides the obvious fact white reflects sunlight) Damn you black ball privilege!

  • This may be one of the dumbest ideas Moonbeam ever had!
    1. Black absorbs heat, so it will evaporate the water faster.
    2. At an average of $60 a month in water use, it will take 18 years to break even. The balls last 25 years. HOWEVER, if the water is evaporating faster with the balls, it will never reach the breakeven point.
    3. It's a leftist idea, so we already knew it wouldn't work.

    • Yep. Plus, they will retain the heat and transfer it directly to the water. If you want to shade something, you don't place it directly on top of the surface. When it's 90 degrees out and you want a break from the heat, you don't put on a jacket, you suspend something above you to block the sun.

      This idiocy sounds like a bad third grade science project.
