re: The West is dry, and we didn't plan well. We need a system to move water from Midwest

This wouldn’t be some small 48” pipeline either. The flow would require a pipe big enough to drive a damn truck through.
The sheer amount of energy it would take to pump water from the Midwest, up and over several mountain ranges, across the country to California would more than power the real answer to this problem, desalination plants.

Yeah - irrigating a desert from one lake piping it hundreds of miles is not planning well.

The great state of Louisiana will be happy to build a desalination plant and sell them fresh water at $100 a barrel.

There are 11 other desalination plants in California
Apparently, they need more.

Instead of pushing this electric car BS, they should have been investing in desalination plants.

Why don't all these mfers that perch along the Pacific coast from the Canadian Border to the Mexican border just get on boats and planes and crash the beaches in red China? They'd be much happier living with their fellow Commies and the rest of us would be happy to be rid of them. I know the folks in the San Joaquin Valley, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington would be ecstatic. God didn't mean for that many people to live on the pacific coast.

It’s called the Pacific Ocean.
Maybe instead of buying homeless crack heads syringes and entitlement programs for illegals they should build some desal plants.
Until then they can suck my nuts.

If only they had mountainous regions to build massive reservoirs.......

Don’t build cities in deserts.

I bet a redneck could figure it out.

Tell to build desalination plants. If Israel and Saudi Arabia can use them to survive in the ME then the ppl in SoCal can use them to survive in SoCal.
Yep, the fools have a whole ocean to draw water from and desalination has made technological progress.

Just give them salt water

Put solar panels on the top of the truck size pipes.

HaHaHa, good one.

Now there is talk about trying to move water from the Midwest to California. No way they will do that. They took away the Colorado river and destroyed wildlife along that river. Now they want to bring water from the Mississippi river? No way it is going to happen not without a fight!
They just recently voted down a huge desalination plant... screw em.

Not our problem.

Mom, when I grow up I want to live in an area that has been "dry as a desert" historically? What could go wrong?

Pipeline would have to follow east to west nat gas pipelines to fuel nat gas fired water pumps
