We have learned to conserve water, I heard a year or so ago that even with almost double out population we were still using about the same amount of water.

The problem right now is the ongoing drought, without some of the large lakes we'd all be in a world of hurt West of the Rockies, yet the California Environmental groups have been trying for ten years to take out one of our major dams and clean power producers.

It's an ongoing fight and they thought two years ago they were winning because the drought had drawn both Powell and Mead under 1/2 full.. yet, if it wasn't for Powell Mead would have gone dry and with it not only the water, but the power from both dams. Thank goodness year before last we had a good winter and it helped, a lot, but last year the winds dehydrated the snow in the Spring and heaven knows what this year will bring.

SoNevada is the one with the biggest problem because they have the smallest allocation from the Colorado.

I don't know. But it's time Arizona started issuing visit visas to visitors and work visas to those seeking employment. As for the southern border, it will be nice to have it lined with polonium 210.
