They need to do something about water in the southwest. California I could give a crap about (with apologies to our conservative brethren behind enemy lines) but Arizona and Texas could use help.
I was listening to the candidate from Arizona for the Senate, Jim Lamon, who has 30 years of experience of getting things done in the Energy Sector, and I loved hearing him talk about building a huge underground water pipeline from the Mississippi all the way to the Arizona, because California is taking all the water and they are going to lose 8% of their water supply.
I kind of like his mindset-if you set up the intakes of the pipe at the Mississippi right before it empties into the Gulf, you aren’t robbing anyone of water-that water was going to disappear into the ocean anyway. He was talking of leveraging Elon Musk’s “The Boring Company”.
