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

103. And lets not forget another difference between water and oil...

A water pipe springing a leak doesn't have all those pesky environmental issues that a oil pipe leaking would cause.

Oil pipe pops a leak? Poisoned land. Poisoned animals. Cleanup efforts. Extremely bad PR that the company has to deal with. Oil pipelines are difficult and expensive because of how damaging the stuff they move is. It requires a lot of risk mitigation.

Water won't poison the land. Or the animals. And so long as the pipe is run away from cities and towns, cleanup is simple as shit. Just let it evaporate.

Seriously though, piping water is a hell of a lot simpler than piping oil. Just never been worth doing since we used to care about sustainable use of water. Now? Just like the environment, your average person doesn't give half a damn. Bring on the always green grass, even in 100+ weather. Keep those steaks coming. Whats that? Running out of water? What kind of woke liberal climate change crap is that? We ain't gonna run out of water. We can just pipe it in from other states. What? They'll run out of water too? Um... They can pipe back the water we just piped in from them! Yeah! Totally fine, no reason to EVER need to look at just how much water our lifestyles waste.
