Right now, but you frequently do. "Google, when was the last drought that affected Phoenix and surrounding areas?There are no water restrictions in the Phoenix metro area.
"145 days ago
The last major drought affecting the Phoenix area was 145 days ago, and it is currently the third longest dry streak in the city's history. The state of Arizona has also experienced its hottest and driest 11-month period since officials began tracking those figures in 1895"
Now, T.A. That's only a little over 2 months ago - c'mon, admit desert weather can't be controlled by anyone, including your hated Democrats!
Alright, lets try another one: "Hey Google, will water conditions get progressively worse or better in Arizona?:
"Improving
Recent data from the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that drought conditions are improving in Arizona. About three-fourths of the state are not in drought conditions, with a very minor area of severe drought. However, climate experts recommend maintaining current drought emergency declarations for the foreseeable future."
Well, it starts out good, but then at the end it reverts back to usual!
Hmm. Ok. "Hey Google when were the last mandatory water restrictions in Phoenix?"Sure, there are recommendations for reducing usage, but no enforceable laws about it. In LA, there are laws restricting water use and there are people enforcing them

2004! Oh, lookin' good Phoenix! Of course, Phoenix is a lot closer to the Colorado River than LA. Use all the water you want!
Now before I Google it - I'm going to guess Phoenix's main electricity source is the Hoover Dam in NV... let's see if I was right - so it looks like you've got a Chernobal situation that powers about 1/4 of your city's energy.. build 4 more and you'll be energy independent! You can suceed from CA and dam up the Colorado! That'll teach them evil Democrats!
