Time to build Pipelines to get Water from where it’s plentiful to where it isn’t.

Can't be done under current law. There is a Great Lakes Compact which says water cannot be piped out of the Great Lakes watershed without unanimous consent of all the Great Lakes states.

And this can never be gained because Michigan always vetoes. Their representative to that board is a charming fellow. "So, you want to move to the Sunbelt, get nicer weather, lower taxes, no unions? Well, F*CK YOU, you ain't gettin' our water!"

That is pretty much a direct quote.

So, they Outlawed benefitting the rest of America and Americans?

Interesting concept, especially with a myriad of Legal Decisions regarding the impact on Interstate Commerce.

I guess the Oil Producing States could do the same thing. After all, Oil is a Natural Resource just like Water is.

Barry Goldwaters long term plan for the Central Arizona Project was a aqueduct from the California coast to carry desalinated water to Arizona once the Colorado River capacity has been reached.

The plans and routes were put in place 40 years ago and nuclear power plants were located with an eye to provide power for desalination .

...additionally, Canada gets a vote in the Great Lakes Compact...and if Michigan wasn’t eh only FU to the SW, Canada would have our back.

Maybe when we buy Greenland we can make Kaliphate-ornia import its ice from there?

It would be cost prohibitive to pipeline water over the Rockies.

But your GLC would seem to make that a moot point.
