I don’t get this. We are about to float away where I live in Arkansas. If we have 2.6 million miles of oil pipelines in the U.S. why don’t we build water pipelines and build reservoirs across the United States. Imagine the jobs that would ensue.
I was under the impression that Texas and probably Arkansas were under a severe draught before this latest deluge. What good would the pipelines have done then?
Also, in places like the Pacific Northwest (where I live), even residents along the rivers can't generally withdraw water without permitting -- very difficult to get these days. Fat chance of a pipeline to California. Although maybe we could send our sewage there.
