Why, they could put indoor bus kiosks at the “park and ride” lots, and people could meet the bus and head to work. They could get a season ticket.

You and me....we got the answers.

The only reason California is growing is it’s policy of open arms to illegal border crashers......Southern California dove into 3rd world status because of this years ago.....

New Israeli desalination plant produces 627,000 cubic meters of fresh water per day at a cost of 500 million dollars to build. With 6 billion dollars 12 such plants could be built which would produce about 7.5 million cubic meters of fresh water per day. The downside is that it would take 10 billion dollars in legal expenses and 20 years of legal action to pick the eco-lice off the project. By the way 7.5 million cubic meters is about 6080 acre feet, and that’s a lot of feet, nearly 10 square miles a foot deep.

Build a dam? Why?

It’s going to be 10 years before anyone will see water from that dam.

You are right. We should never build anything again because it will take X years to see any benefit.

Did you take a wrong turn on the way to the DUmpster?

Governor Moonbeam doesn’t understand that water is a commodity and should be treated as such.

My post about not being worth it because it will take ten years to see any water benefit was post as a matter of curiosity.

I was wondering if anyone would remember, and note, that Bill Clinton used that exact same 10 year reason in about 1995 for not drilling in ANWAR.

Sadly, no one did.

I was wondering if you were eliciting that. We have heard that specious argument many times from Democrats about many infrastructure projects. It is so patently silly — they constantly scream “ Build moe infrastructure! More taxes!” But the next moment they argue against another project (as you say) because “It won’t produce anything for X years” or “What it will produce is too small to be of consequence.” (Keystone)
