How soon before they start pumping and transferring water from the Great Lakes to the West??

[A HERETIC I AM]

66. Declarations, compacts, decrees, agreements, treaties.....

have ALL been changed in the past.

I read your statement;

"Never...it can't be done."

As a declarative statement. That is obviously and clearly not true. It can be done, and if there is enough political and financial desire, it WILL be done, at some point.


I would propose another way of looking at the long term water problems for the west, and that isn't only to divert water from the Great Lakes or the Big Muddy, but to set up a system of catchment basins and reservoirs to capture floodwaters, like what has been happening in Kentucky, and send that water to where ever it is needed.

Now I realize this entire conversation (and this thread is about the 5th one in the last 4 weeks I've seen on this same subject) proposes at the very least, a public works project on a MASSIVE scale. But we have undertaken massive projects in the past. We used to do great things in this country that improved the lives of its citizens.

However, when it comes to the question of some 80 million Americans having enough water to survive on, it seems now we are populated by a bunch of people who just want to say "Fuck em'" to that shitload of their fellow citizens.
