This is how famine is created. No water, no crops, no food, starving people. And don’t forget the acreage lost to wind and solar boondoggles.
That’s a good point, but I would also make the case that there are large arid and semi-arid regions of the U.S. where water-intensive agriculture probably never should have been established in the first place. If it doesn’t rain enough locally to support a particular crop or livestock, then it’s probably not a good idea to grow them there.
