The Palm Beach Western Sun wants our water

It's a Gannett paper. I've already shot my 500 word letter in retort. I was polite, suggesting a pipeline built at their cost and for a hefty fee only to be used in once in decade type flood years.
To divert our water must come at a cost to much for them to pay. If that's their idea then start throwing 50 billion a year around and maybe we might listen. They need scores of desalination plants they can afford. But their plankton. Damn we are about unleash a coast saving diversion of our own.
Lots or money talks though and if the Feds force anything then it's secession time

These are always just op eds from uninformed people. The reality is that no state can just start diverting other states' water flow. They're printed just to drum up angry drama.
It would be far cheaper and more efficient to do desalination on a mass scale anyway.

Of course they can't legally take our water. And this is likely hullabaloo but outside of shutting down agriculture and mass emigration, or grabbing water from the pacific northwest they are screwed.
Of course 2 years of major snow pack and rains like we saw a few years back will solve the problems for most of the state. But not the southern part.
Much of me wants to extort those mofos.
It's a moot point. This is a project that could take a decade. Mother nature will likely send them a few years of El Nino mudslides and they'll be ok for a bit longer.

This country is plenty of ingenuity. The Mississippi River is available to serve up some water on demand. They want an infrastructure project have them build a project to the west to utilize. They get water and we get cleaner water on the coast bringing the snapper along with other sport fishing closer. It could also lessen that dead zone off the coast from all that fertilizer which they could use anyway
