#1 ...You know, there's always the grim possibility that the stupidity being shown on the drought issue is intentional - that Governor Moonbeam et al are intentionally screwing it up under the belief that the Federal Government will 'have' to help them. And some moron in Washington, with more power, bad scientific ideas and greed than good sense, will try and push it through.

Want to see when the next Civil War starts? Watch what happens when the Federal Government goes to Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, and so many others and says, "We're pumping YOUR water to California."

Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, and so many others and says, "We're pumping YOUR water to California."

It'll go by Warren Buffett tank cars. Pipelines are icky and pollutitary.

#3 Buffet's losing stroke - new moves afoot in the northeast to ban 'train bombs' as well as pipelines. And nukes too. Everything needs to be clean and green and renewable. I don't think they passed math and physics.

#4 I would expect them to pull it out of Lake Mohave at Searchlight, NV and pipe it down I15 and dump it into the headwaters of the Mohave river, then pull it out at Victorville, CA for distribution.

#5 This is a perfect metaphor for the Blue State model. Billions on a high speed train that might never be built. Zero dollars to move water south from northern CA and OR.

#6 We don't need your water, guys. We have toilet to tap. We have desal. Now, if you wanna send some oil so we can power the toilet to tap and desal plants that'd be cool.

#7 There might be a ray of hope for California if the drought persists for another two to five years. The demographic problem might just be totally reversed. Please don't move to Texas.
