How’s the Delta Smelt doing, by the way?
Vegas is drinking California’s milkshake!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
“There’s plenty of water in the Northeast and reservoirs are in great shape. New York City could easily triple its population and still have plenty of water. In fact, I think metro NYC, which includes parts of Long Island, Connecticut and New Jersey, can easily fit over 100 million people. “
Too bad the Ukraine War starters (the Democrats) won’t permit us to build a water pipeline of this type, nor permit desalinization, at all.
How m,uch of our water is Mexico getting? They used to open the spillways from Lake Mead and send it south.
HAHA! I’d rather starve.
Lets all live in the desert and act like it isn’t the desert.
Now that was hard-hitting and funny as hell Scrambler.

I drive by those CA solar farms frequently.
Used to be a scenic desert view. Not any more.
But . . . they will save the Earth /s/s/ss/s//
Water too shallow to launch large boats. Last I saw, there was only one launch left. The water pump valves that provide water for the cities are almost at the critical level
They built lakes in the desert.
I will start caring when the west reports all the millions of illegals consuming the water.
In 1971, I was riding shotgun on a ferry run with a friend of my father to deliver an old Jeep to our deer hunting camp in the Gila Mountains. Using an International 4x4 pickup for the job.
Paul was born in the 1900teens I would guess. The highway north out of Las Cruces is in desolate, dry lands except for irrigated strips along the Rio Grande river. Mountain ranges are east and west of the river. Paul told me that when he was a boy, these lands were covered with grass but the rains stopped and it turned to desert.
To give a sense of how rugged these lands are now, NASA had a facility in them where the Apollo moon astronauts trained on driving the moon buggy. The sand and rocks stood in for the surface of the moon.
Some of us here are pushing for them; the math is still problematic, marginal at best given the energy cost. Without a few nuke plants not going to happen, sadly. We *could* do it, but Newsome is more interested in giving handouts to buy votes.
Dropping faster than the economy under Biden
“water would no longer pass through Hoover Dam to supply California, Arizona and Mexico—a level known as “dead pool.””

Mexicans get to starve and dry up just like we will.
If we didnt have all of the “south of the border” immigration to these southwest states, how much water do you think would still be in Lake Mead?
I’ve only been to the south part of New Mexico once and the area going to El Paso, TX looks like you’re on the moon. You’re right.
Yeah, Victor Davis Hanson is an almond farmer in the San Jauquin valley; I saw an episode of good fellows from the Hoover Institution where he bitches about not getting enough water…so much for his conservative cred.
I don’t think they should be coming here at all. Conditions here are deteriorating rapidly under Brandon, the west is drying out and they need to go back home before they either starve or they get shot by gang-bangers.
California has shot itself in the foot so many times I’m surprised it still has a leg to stand on.
