What's Up With The Wildfires In California?

If they're spending $2 Billion per year to put out wildfires, wouldn't it make sense to spend $50 Billion to build an irrigation system ?
How much does a wildfire cost?
Cost of fighting U.S. wildfires topped $2 billion in 2017. SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - The costs of fighting U.S. wildfires topped $2 billion in 2017, breaking records and underscoring the need to address a U.S. Forest Service budget that mostly goes to fires, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said on Thursday.

Its alot of felons and prisoners who put them fires out.If they're spending $2 Billion per year to put out wildfires, wouldn't it make sense to spend $50 Billion to build an irrigation system ?

What’s up w it is the dry heat and Santa Ana winds we have. I think this year is especially bad because we had a huge rainy season recently which gave us all that vegetation, which became dry brush later on. All that is fuel for the fires to burn through.
Some mornings you can smell the fires and I live quite a long ways from them. On clear days you can see the smoke trails. The air quality here is horrible and it won’t let up. Oct - Nov are the fire seasons. It will continue to burn.
There isn’t a fix, either. No water irrigation system can fix this or save homes. The only solution is clearing the dry brush and that is too much ground to cover. No one will want to do that. Not even neighborhoods surrounded by dry brush make sure their homes are miles safe from that fuel.

What an asshole
I believe you, but it doesn't make any sense.
Did you know when the telephone was invented they built a transatlantic cable system. Basically a telephone wire that stretched from Canada to Scotland. It only worked for three weeks but they rebuilt another one about 100 years later that worked.
TAT-1 (Transatlantic No. 1) was the first transatlantic telephone cable system. It was laid between Gallanach Bay, near Oban, Scotland and Clarenville, Newfoundland between 1955 and 1956 by the cable ship Monarch.[3] It was inaugurated on September 25, 1956, initially carrying 36 telephone channels. In the first 24 hours of public service there were 588 London–U.S. calls and 119 from London to Canada. The capacity of the cable was soon increased to 48 channels. Later, an additional three channels were added by use of C Carrier equipment. Time-assignment speech interpolation (TASI) was implemented on the TAT-1 cable in June 1960 and effectively increased the cable's capacity from 37 (out of 51 available channels) to 72 speech circuits. TAT-1 was finally retired in 1978. Later coaxial cables, installed through the 1970s, used transistors and had higher bandwidth. The Moscow–Washington hotline was initially connected through this system.

Point being, if you can run a telephone wire across the Atlantic ocean, then an irrigation system to put out wildfires is feasible.

wheres all that water gonna come from? the ocean? all that salt would fk things up..
It's not that difficult to boil ocean water.

The one between three and three.
A desert sitting on the pacific ocean.
There's legitimately no reason that California isn't getting it's water via desalination plants up and down the coast. like every other sane civilization... And, oddly, Florida.

If it that easy and cheap the only other logical explanation is they dont gaf about the problem.

salt water ocean, youd need a filtration plant to convert the water to fresh..the process would be costly

120 countries around the world and Florida are already doing it.
