The Poseidon Adventure Continued
Poseidon Desal plant Sucks Up $350million in Taxpayer Dollars After MWD Sucks Up to Poseidon
OC Voice video report shows how it happened.
Poseidon Resources Inc. told elected officials and taxpayers that if its energy intensive and costly desalination projects were approved in Carlsbad and Huntington Beach, California that there would be no cost or risk to taxpayers. But they will directly benefit from a $350 million subsidy with much more likely to come.
