>States surrounding the Great Lakes have a recurring nightmare about proposals to siphon off water for parched areas in U.S. or other countries. So they might be staggered by suggestions from NASA scientist Jay Famiglietti, who said a water pipeline from the lakes to cities like Phoenix was "part of our future.”
>Famiglietti, a hydrologist and senior water scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was in Cleveland recently for a lecture. In the interview with Ideas, he said that "from a quantity perspective you might imagine that there’s a giant bullseye that can be seen from space that’s sitting above the Great Lakes. Meaning: It’s a target area in a sense for the rest of the country.
>"Because there’s so much fresh water, you can imagine that 50 years from now ... there might actually be a pipeline that brings water from the Great Lakes to Phoenix. I think that’s part of our future.” Famiglietti said such initiatives are needed to address a global water shortage.
>States surrounding the Great Lakes have jealously guarded the vast water resource. After all, the lakes hold 20 percent of the world's fresh water, and those states (and the government of Canada) realize the value in a world that is increasingly faced with shortages.
Maybe don't live in the fucking desert you dipshits.
Aaron Cooper
Stuff like this has been an idea for at least a century now.
Mulholland and others imagined an aqueduct from the Columbia River in the northwest all the way to SoCal.
They are actively exploring tapping the Missouri River near Yankton or Omaha to pipe it just west of Denver to add more water to the Colorado River.
Eventually we are going to reach a point in this country where population growth is unsustainable, water availability in the Western US is one reason why.
Even if completed and operational they are temporary, use a lot of energy and will generate an unimaginable amount of pollution every year pumping water up elevations.
Oliver Bell
We have desalination technology how the fuck we still running low on fresh water.
Why do people continue to act as if terraforming vast sections of the Earth are good ideas? The same people who cry about global warming because of Trump are the same people who support this shit.
Ian Barnes
Once twenty million illegal beaner shitskin criminals are sent back to their shithole countries there will be plenty of water for Americans without the need for any pipeline.
>siphon off the great lakes so some faggot retiree boomer can water their golf courses in the middle of a god damn desert fuck off and die, desert cunts. leave your fucking hellhole and live somewhere reasonable
Michael Thompson
Ohio can have Lake Erie. Fuck that noise. Superior, Michigan Huron and St. Clair are ours, though.
Andrew Howard
Your fellow Americans need water. You guys have water. Thankfully, we're all proud members of the same nation, and sharing is caring. I look forward to those water deliveries, lakie.
Isaac Stewart
DRAIN THOSE LAKES!
Chase Hill
This. Move back East where the fucking water is.
Jaxon Gonzalez
not cost effective to run, because (((profit))) is all that matters, not long term sustainability
Juan Moore
over my cold dead body you fucking greedy cunts
Jason Sanders
>Twenty million Not enough. I want like 50 million deported.
Jaxson Kelly
h'haaaaaaaaaa
Evan Reyes
Because faggot shitlibs are afraid of nuclear energy.
Isaac Adams
michigander here, it will never happen.
Christopher Gonzalez
You wanna live in the fucking desert like a dipshit you find your own water damn it
>Your fellow Americans need water. You guys have water. Thankfully, we're all proud members of the same nation, and sharing is caring. I look forward to those water deliveries, lakie. lol stay thirsty, user, cause it aint never going to happen.
Julian Mitchell
they touch multiple states so the feds will take control
Hunter Hughes
Iowa Is willing to trade the entirety of our Minnesota territory to Michigan for water supplies if our aquifer runs out
Levi Cox
>lake superior is beautiful indeed.
Parker Lewis
i say we revamp all the dying/dead malls into a concentration camp
Bentley Barnes
>Iowa Is willing to trade the entirety of our Minnesota territory to Michigan for water supplies if our aquifer runs out never. keep your waterless pos land.
Ryder Hall
To be fair they have 10,000 lakes. It's just impractical to pipe water from that many different sources
Joseph Diaz
Bitch, I need my Mackinaw Island Regatta more than I need you to water your fucking desert rocks.
Fuck off. You do not want to fuck with the Great Lakes States; we all hunt and have angle grinders.
Kayden Miller
so much, this. we're not fucking up the planet so idiots can live in a desert >"We have deserts in America - we just don't live in them ASSHOLE!!!" - the poet Sam Kinison
Brody Sullivan
Not sure what the issue is. Billions of gallons flow out of the St Lawrence and mix into the ocean thus becoming unusable brine water. I guess as long as you were to take less than the outflow the lake would never even lose water.
Lincoln James
great lakes are sinking by a few more feet every year
John Cook
hello fellow island bro cheers from mackinac island
Grayson Peterson
another busy day at the office mr. berg/stein/man/witz/ski? weather could be a litter better eh?
Isaiah Taylor
Wouldn't it make more sense to get water from the Pacific northwest?
Sebastian Rivera
If you lakies were so damn concerned about your water why do you let the Nestle Company steal so much of it from you?
Samuel Brooks
Someone please answer this.
Michael Torres
Part of the North American Water Diversion Project, which involves replumbing virtually all of North America's rivers.
Jaxon Murphy
those contracts concern specific aquifers, and it's a source of local jobs
Zachary Perry
I'm all ears michiganders, UPers, leafs? Anyone?
Liam Wilson
Arizonan here calicucks are despised by the entirety of the union so they pretend that Phoenicians want the Great Lakes water as a cover Arizona has Jr water rights to the Colorado river (california has Sr rights), yet we still get by just fine due to our actually competent water management. Arizonans understand the need to preserve natural beauty, whereas calicucks believe we should drain the beautiful Great Lakes so that they can grow more fucking avocados. >why isnt everyone responding to me within a minute calicuck spotted
Nestle should be destroyed for the good of everyone.
Tyler Reed
Siphons (really big ones) and hydropower will do the uphill work.
Jack Hill
We just sold them the Fracked Groundwater, not the Lakes.
Michael Nguyen
>UPers *Yoopers. It's spelled Yoopers.
Angel Mitchell
No, we're going to take Canada's water.
Joseph Young
Thank you for the prompt response leaf, however the Nestle Company is taking more then they should. Weren't they busted a few years back for pumping more then allowed?
Adrian Price
>global water shortages >71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water Anybody who truly believes that ocean salinity is some sort of massive barrier that cannot easily be overcome needs the immediately be gassed to death
Austin Lee
The only lake water you losers are getting is if you start enjoying the juicy taste of dredged quagga mussels you degenerate cretins Don't touch my lakes
Bentley Baker
>pipe all the resources to a sanctuary state
Xavier Hernandez
I bet this is one of the same scientist douche's who is for sure 100% that global warming is real but we should definitely waste time, energy, and resources pumping that sweetwater across the country to retards who choose to live in a fucking desert. As a resident I reply with a hearty fuck you dummies.
Jordan Peterson
Here's a better idea, take your dusty dry ass back to Mexico and bring your spic friends with you. Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern California are literally uninhabitable burning wastelands.
Camden Reyes
Is that so? Make no logical sense but you're the northern I'll take your word for it.
Zachary Kelly
In Denmark, Lemprey is a delicacy. I support Lamprey Fishing Vessels through the Eisenhower Locks.
Hunter Scott
The problem is cost and volume.
Levi Lewis
I'll personally sabotage the pipeline. and I won't be the only one.
>Your fellow Americans need water. You guys have water. Fuck that You fucks already have the Colorado river being run DRY, so you can have green lawns in the FUCKING desert. No one told you crazy fucks to live in a desert. Either figure out how to make it not a desert (possible). Or start desalinating that saltwater nearby.
If this pipeline was even attempted we would have the great lakes disappear So some cali celeb or Hank Hill in Texas can go "MUH LAWN"
The Muslims invented the lamb skin condom and the English improved it by removing it from the lamb first.
Andrew Anderson
That’s not a problem, that’s an excuse. We’ve seen them use their excuse since time immemorial. When I was a kid that used to say the fracking will never happen because of cost and consuming more energy than extracted.
You fools need to stop being submissive and obedient to jewish lies. jews are authorities on nothing.
Caleb Miller
Only the democrat party could have a UN petitioning water crisis in the great lakes region
Luis Scott
>States surrounding the Great Lakes have jealously guarded the vast water resource. >jealously guarded >jealously What?
Henry Fisher
they should be gassed too
Dylan Adams
If I remember correctly, that was from a lake in California.
Camden Price
Fuck off desert nigger I will fight to the death to protect my water
>Even if completed and operational they are temporary, use a lot of energy and will generate an unimaginable amount of pollution every year pumping water up elevations. if the fucking romans could do it...
Brayden Richardson
This, I'm not even from the Midwest and the desertfags piss me off. You literally picked the most inhospitable environment to live in and demand to have cities identical to the East Coast.
Camden Cooper
carlysle group has been buying water rights in montana for a while. pretty sketchy
Brody Garcia
Honestly this. Phoenix and LA are shit city locations, and they shouldn't exist.
Camden Rivera
I will literally suicide bomb a pipeline before I let one drop of our lakes be stolen by West Coast liberals
Jordan Johnson
no, how about you faggots stop trying to have golf courses and acres of lawn in the desert.
Noah Martinez
mfw yellowstone finall blows, california falls into the sea, and arizona is suddenly coastal
problem mostly solved, just shoot the boomers and bulldoze their precious golf courses
Logan Miller
maybe building bustling metropolitan areas in the middle of a desert was a bad idea. stop moving there retards, and get fucked
Eli Young
We've already got a big company coming to take our stamp sand. Desertfags fuck off
Dominic Johnson
U (You) P (P) Yoop-er.
Don't worry, if my secessionist movement has our way, you'll be calling us "Uusi Suomi" soon and we'll be allowed to execute anyone who pronounces "Sauna" as "Saw-nuh" for espionage.
Easton Carter
Reminder that Michiganders would literally go to war to protect our lake clay
Stop being greedy kikes and give them your water, michifags
Kayden Ross
I guarantee you people in Michigan would go into an all out civil war over the lakes being pumped out. People in Michigan are not too fond of Ohio but would probably ally with Ohio and Illinois against this. You would see an insurgency like nothing the world has ever seen since the Revolution. Think of all the insurgency since WWII and multiply it by 1000x. UN can fuck right off and ride a shit tornado to Oz.
Zachary Bailey
We have a fleet of 13 Nimitz-class sized freighters. If we give away our water, what the fuck are the Thousand Footers gonna float on?
Colton Murphy
>northern illinois fag here who has spent his whole life camping and touring around the lakes can confirm
Robert Butler
I will handover the water when Arizona agrees to take our niggers. Until then you can dry up and blow away for all I care.
