People in dry areas of the country need to figure out there own problems or move to where there is water Ya. They will come to your area that has excess resources and increase the population density. I would rather ship excess resources out vs bring people to the resources in my area as the population density increase and the politics they bring suck. If we can keep them in their utopia the better off it is. Plus selling resources to other regions brings in nice revenue. but I guess as population grows and you want them moving next to you I guess it’s a case where different strokes for different folks. I would rather the population grow in the desert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmon need it more than Californians/desert dwellers. Endangered species act as well as personal water rights would likely prevent it. they could easily suck some water up from the Mississippi River delta and send it to headwaters of the Colorado with no affect on anything other then keeping people where they are.

This doesn't effect the Midwest at all. Not like that harebrained scheme of sticking a giant straw in Lake Michigan. Not much different than building a city in a frigid siberian hellscape and having to import heating oil and gas. Ya ok because people never lived where it was cold before pipelines????? Come on man. You are better than this.... You know what people didn't do back then??????? Live in the fucking desert!!!!!! With no water and no food. What a fucking stupid argument....

I’m ok with that. But it would likely be more of a jaunt to lake mead over some rugged country. Sending from Mississippi drainage into the Gulf of Mexico seems like a great option. Any river is pretty much used up and worthless at a point that it dumps into and ocean. It’s a resource that can be pumped out. Great Lakes wouldn’t miss any water pumped out from where the Mississippi dumps into the Gulf of Mexico.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted February 10, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted February 10, 2023 Lots of existing pipeline ROW running from the Mississippi River exit in the Gulf of Mexico that could tie into and dump directly into the Colorado river. Be pretty easy to put a water pipeline on existing right of way and pretty dump right into lake Powell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans have been living in deserts longer than they've been living in frigid temps. Let's have Minneapolis go back to burning wood and buffalo shit to heat their homes and stop trucking in coal, heating oil, natural gas, eh? How does the thought of taking water from a source where it's effectively wasted, and that has zero impact on the rest of the country, piss you off? It's a good thing in my book. Not just because I live in AZ, but because it makes at least 25% of the land mass of the country far more usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member poopooforme Posted February 10, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted February 10, 2023 You see how low the water has been in the mississippi the last year? How it has impacted barge traffic?

That's fine as long as Arizona pays for that infrastructure and cost to get those resources there just like I do in my electric bill to pay for the coal at the local power plant or local waste treatment facility. I think where people have an issue is much of what you read people there act like they are owed it by the rest of the country. People in Alaska and Hawaii have to pay more for certain resources....if you live in the desert you should too. As for the first comment yeah humans have been living in the desert for eon's but not with needing to water golf courses and every living quarters having a pool. AZ averages a pool for every 13 people. Edited February 10, 2023 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
