'Member when you weren’t defeatist cry babies that went “wahhh, it’s too difficult to provide basic necessities to our population at a price that doesn’t financially cripple vast swathes of the population 😭”
In the richest nation on earth, with huge tracts of land, consisting of multiple varying biomes and geographies…
The transport of water was figured out hundreds of years ago. The Romans built impressive viaducts. I’m sure the world’s foremost industrial and economic superpower of the last 100 years can figure out how to move water across state lines.
Mississippi can’t spare it, not without creating an ecological disaster anyways. Great lakes? I live 40 miles from Lake Michigan which puts me on the other side of the water table so we aren’t allowed to use it for similar reasons.
The only ecological answer for the southwest is conservation. Pumping water in is the kind of fantasy only an immature silicon valley billionaire should be dumb enough to think would work.
And who said the price should financially cripple anyone. There are plenty of ways to tackle that without making water free at the point of use. Of all the financial burdens people in this country face, nobody is being crushed by their water bill. Not unless it’s the last straw in a giant bale.
'Member when the USA was capable of feats of world class engineering?
'Member when building pipelines across continents was easily achieved in the middle of the 20th century?
'Member when you used to actually build shit in your country?
