There's alot of things left better untouched in light of economic gain and forests, especially national forests are one of them unless it is to improve the forest itself.

There are some very impressive on going water projects going on by our adversaries.

It will go empty again. I don’t think it is possible to move enough cubic feet of water to make a difference. Keeps more of the country inhabitable lower population densities as well as keeps the countries food sources stable since it’s such a large winter time producer for nations food supply. Without this area the middle classes food bills will skyrocket more then they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other party’s infrastructure isn’t infrastructure worth spending money on. see some guys would eminent domain land to build a border wall calling it infrastructure but would really balk at building a pipeline for water while being all over shitting on Native American territory to build an oil pipeline. people are just all over the board on both sides in the end.

It's simply just supporting good ideas from both sides and tossing the radical shit in the trash. Which BTW, most of the radical shit comes from the Dems.

Rockies to various spots but the biggest outlet is the CO River, which feeds Lake Mead and others. BTW, this is also the primary water source for a large swath of Mexico, including some of the largest ag areas. A huge percentage of the fruit and veggies in grocery stores in the winter are from Mexican farms fed with water downstream from Mead. Calling this just a problem for residents of these areas is short sighted and dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Trust me... living here in AZ it's a little frustrating watching the shitlibs in CA stop any efforts at getting new water sources. Even super lefty Gavin Newsom of CA was strongly strongly in favor of a new desalination plant that was planned for SoCal and lobbied for it hard. The environmental left shut him down because they were concerned about the discharge water's effect on plankton. Yep. Not coral reefs, not the vast ocean ecosystem... they were concerned about a specific microscopic organism that would have been effected in an area about 200 yards square. Our gov here in AZ basically said "fuck it" to working with CA and is working with Mexico instead on desalination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
