Went thru a similar discussion on another thread

It's hard to get too worked up about the "water crises" in the PNW

Obviously there are gigantic sources of fresh water free for the taking, but they might have to cough up some infrastructure spending to manage it......god forbid..

You have these competing "no tax" states that might need to fund these facilities

Oregon doesn't do sales tax, Washington gives a pass on income

..so when I hear this poor mouthing about lack of water, its hard to sympathize, when

you live in an area that has no visible source of water other than the Colorado River, which has no measurable discharge to the ocean

Major areas of the Southwest are constantly facing the possibility of a bona fide migration event over water

.. there is no mighty river dumping billions of gallons of fresh water, by the hour, into the ocean

..that is as near as a pipeline project a fraction of the size of Keystone to the affected areas
