The issue of water is interesting.

1. There is absolutely no shortage of water in the Great Lakes region. While there is much angst here whenever the concept of exporting water comes up - to me it is something that could easily be done. For instance, I would think anyone wanting tankers full of fresh water could get all they want at the mouth of the St. Lawrence. I think I have seen ice bergs towed to the ME - fresh water from the St. Lawrence would seem easier.

2. Every spring there is flooding in the mid west. It would seem an "investment" that would yield serious value would be more water capture in the western tributaries of the Mississippi. There must be huge amounts of water available in the spring in for instance the Missouri. Something like the California system of water transfer from north to south would seem feasible from the Missouri basin.

Government money spent on projects that actually yield a real return would be so much better than the way we p___ away billions today.

Engineers solve problems. Politicians nurture issues.
