Terraforming in Palm Springs?

(or Palm Desert)?

Surrealistic. This is how I see this place. It is really beautiful with lakes surrounding a newly seeded golf course in Palm Desert off of Monterey blvd. I think it is. However, lakes, ducks, dragonflies, hummingbirds in the desert? which is always in a drought?

It takes me home to the SF Bay area where I can't get enough water on my Rhododendrons or Scottish heather (2 bushes) and I likely have been watering them all and keeping them alive since we bought our home in 1999. So, now they are dying but now I'm in a California drought in a place in the desert with waterfalls designed by landscape architects? with water pulled from aquifers that are being quickly drained so that within 10 years no one here likely is going to get anymore water from them unless they get their water from the Colorado River? What's wrong with this picture.

If you are into terraforming sand dunes with ocotillo plants growing on them to golf courses and then digging really deep wells into the aquifer this is okay I guess. And this whole area is over 90% or more powered by unsightly windmills that you see coming into the area from Los Angeles and points north down interstate 10. What I find strange is the wind is usually so strong people drive at 85 and 90 miles an hour down Interstate 10 through the always windy pass with the wind going basically south east I think. So, if you are going 80 then you are being passed on the right and the left by everyone else because the tailwind is so strong you think you are only doing 40 or 50 except the speed of the ground going by.

So, why am I writing this?

Mostly, because I can see how developed nations are going to terraform literally everything where they are eventually using solar, wind and whatever and turning places like the moon (what it was like before they built this place) into an oasis paradise here where now in October it is 85 (normal is about 99 for this time of year while it is beginning to snow up north and east in the country.

So, I can see terraforming with solar and wind and aquifers (hopefully they have enough water in the future) is the future of life at least in ever developing California and other places on the cutting edge of technology worldwide.
