[KevK]

Yep, he was appointed by Reagan! Orders water shut off to the whole city of Atlanta so we can give our water to Alabama and Florida who neither need or deserve it. Another STUPID decision by a STUPID judge appoint by a Republican (Ronald Reagan)

According to the article...

The state has had 20 years to solve this problem:

Experts say they doubt a recent federal court ruling will shut the taps off, but it does put Georgia in a weak position and could finally push the three states back to the negotiating table after nearly two decades of stalemate.

Georgia has shown an unwillingness to compromise:

Georgia could be forced to make significant concessions to Florida and Alabama that it so far has been unwilling to adopt, like spending hundreds of millions of dollars on infrastructure, establishing tighter drought restrictions and offering rebates for more efficient toilets, dishwashers and washing machines.

Georgia was not following the law:

Friday's ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson found that nearly all Georgia's withdrawals from Lake Lanier are illegal because the lake was built for hydroelectric power, not to supply water.

This has nothing to do with Reagan. This has to do with:

"There really is quite enough water to do everything you need to do," [said Daniel Sheer, founder of HydroLogics, a national water planning consulting company that has worked with Atlanta municipalities.]

But, he said, "There is an enormous amount of bad will and an enormous amount of political posturing going on, politicians getting elected by exploiting the conflict ... particularly among the governors."

I agree, and is using Obama big words STUPID.

Libs never know the true facts and always end up wrong as usual.

Hey KevK, I thought you were an environmental sidekick to Al Gore?

Do you not want to conserve water and use it wisely or do you want it all used up so there wont be any when those people need it?

Think ahead KevK, think ahead. Just like libs want to conserve our oil, water is the same way in the south.

Next time read the facts.

I guess you think the needs of people in Atlanta are more important than the needs of people everywhere else?

KevK won't be back to this thread.

It looks like it is time for GA to demand the disputed border with Tennessee finally be rectified.

Nearly two centuries after a flawed survey placed Georgia's northern border just short of the Tennessee River, some legislators are thirsting to set the record straight.
A historic drought has added urgency to Georgia's generations-old claim that its territory should extend about a mile farther north and reach into the Tennessee -- a river with about 15 times the flow of the one Atlanta depends on for water.
