William Shatner’s $30 Billion Kickstarter Campaign to Save California David Pogue April 17, 2015
William Shatner. Wow. He’s 84 years old, looks 65, and juggles a schedule that would exhaust a team of 10. Book projects, TV projects, tech projects, horse-riding projects, charity projects. And his willingness to embrace the tech world is impressive; he’s got YouTube channels, he’s conducted Kickstarter projects, and he has a huge Twitter presence: more than 2 million followers. (He’s tweeted 30,000 times so far — and yes, it’s really him.)
The hour he spent with me in a Yahoo Tech Mix interview wasn’t even enough to scratch the surface.

If he wants water from Seattle, he better figure out how to get an ice berg from the North Pole into Puget Sound. We will be short of water this summer too. (Very, VERY little snow in the mountains this year.)

He’s talking about a pipeline from Seattle to Lake Mead.
It would make a lot more sense to run it just from the Columbia River to the northern end of the aqueduct that supplies southern California.

10 gallons used per person per day to flush toilets. How many illegal aliens in California? Figure out how much less water they would need.
To: Captain Peter Blood
But instead Gov Moonbeam wants to build a $65 billion light rail to Las Vegas or San Francisco or somewhere that will NEVER pay for itself.

The man who headed the Chemical Engineering Department at Texas A&M decades ago (Dr. Hal Cooper) came up with just that idea, but he was thinking on a grander scale. His plan is for a utility corridor that would include a variety of pipelines (oil, water, gas), electric power lines, and a new freight railroad.
It would originate in Canada, use abandoned railroad rights of way that have been rail banked by the states and provinces, and end up in California. Funding is the big issue, but the vision is there.
Shatner is not alone.
