Like I said on a drought thread last night, Kalifornia needs to do a pipeline or canal running right along I-5 from the soggy northwest, right into our central valley.

Hell, the rights-of-way are already there....just need to convince Moonbeam to ditch the dream of a Choo-choo and reallocate the funds.

Figure out how to dig a canal from Lake Winnepeg, Canada to the great plains and beyond.
An enormous amount of fresh water flows into the Hudson Bay.

At first glance, that seems like a great idea - until you start thinking about moving all that water from sea-level at the north end to sea-level at the south end over or through the Klamath mountains.

What might be a better solution would be a series of desalinization plants along the coast. Sure, they require a lot of energy to run but small nuclear power plants could solve that problem.

Oh wait! All those voters in San Francisco and Los Angeles passed a law (or constitutional amendment) to outlaw any and all new nukes in Kali.

Oh darn! I guess we’ll just have to get used to paying $12 a head for lettuce.

I’m just glad I live in Oregon, at least for the time being, anyhow.
