We should quit shipping water to places that do not have it.
There are Texas and Arizona politicians who want to start draining water from the great lakes to keep their states going. This does not help the nation as a whole.
People weren't meant to live in the desert, and if they want to do so, they definitely weren't meant to have green yards, and farm there. If you'd like to do that, we need a new way to supply water, whether its clean desalinization, or extracting it from the atmosphere.
Old wind farm man T Boone Pickens has been buying up land and water rights in western texas and has built pipelines alongside his transmission lines he got the OK for by greasing pol's when he was into wind farms. His plan is to start grabbing the water from the Ogallala Aquifer and pump it into big cities and charge folks for it. What the farmers will do to water their crops I guess he doesn't really care as long as he gets rich. How he thinks that water is his I don't know.

the problem is that we need it NOW!!!! It is miserable here right now. 100+ degree temps everyday doesn't help.
Maybe Oregon and Washington can start trading water to Texas in exchange for oil. We've got way too much gotdamn water. Rivers at flood stage, snowpack at over 200 percent of average.
Shoot, we will sell y'all a glacier if you give us a good deal on barrels of the black gold.
It's been this way for almost 20-25 years now. Speculators and energy traders have been trying to tie up the water for at least the last 15 years. If you don't own the rights, your land is practically worthless.
