One of the companies that talks about plans to mass-produce nuclear-fission powerplants is saying that shipyard techniques can be applied to do that. So maybe a new shipyard should also be a new factory for fission reactors.
The first phase of the development will rely on groundwater and recycled water alone, according to California Forever’s plan. But multiple government bodies, from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission to the Solano Groundwater Management Authority, note in their public comments that few have ever used groundwater from southeastern Solano, let alone monitored its quality or studied what 150,000 new residents all using it at once might mean for water bodies across the region, like neighboring Suisun Marsh. “Vague statements like ‘water will be available’ are insufficient,” writes James Bezek, Solano County Director of Resource Management.
Hi Martha, happy to clarify. The details for water supply are on page 169 and onwards in the Specific Plan on Suisun City's website, and there is nothing vague about them.
In addition, a much more detailed full Water Supply Assessment, which will run to hundreds of pages, with full hydrological studies, will be available as part of the Environmental Impact Report.
Finally, there are lots of parties that use groundwater in southeastern Solano, including several of the cities, and many almond farms.
There is a reason Travis is located there. Winds. How high above future sea level is the planned site? Can't you take your ideas and go back into already existing, run-down older towns and cities?
The entire proposed development footprint of the city is about 20 feet or more above sea level, one of the most resilient places to build in the entire Bay Area.
California has been trying to solve the housing crisis by infill-only approach for 20 years now, and house prices in that period have only continued to go up. It's time we recognize that we need both infill and good high quality greenfield approach.
Thank you for your reply! I first arrived in California as a young airman assigned to the 60th in 1977. Lots of memories of exploring out there in the flats. Grizzly Island, Birds Landing, sailing a Hobbie Cat at Rio Vista. Good to know about the elevation. Its to windy for me to want to live there.
Carter was president; basically, it was peace times. I was from Mississippi so, yeah very awesome times! Just yesterday a friend who I've known since those days reminded me of us riding horses up at Twin Sisters, (the hills north of 80).

sorry if I missed this but have you looked at shared space streets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_space
As a former local, I think the city is pronounced suh-SOON, not Swee-sun.
So, where does Mr. Sramek think he is going to get the water for his city?
Did you even listen to the episode? This is one of the main topics they explore in the first quarter of the show.

Hope this helps!

Hi Charles! Travis AFB is on the record about what they think about this, take a look:

Must have been an awesome time to be there! The wind speeds are essentially the same as San Francisco or Chicago.
