California is said to be the region of America which will be hit hardest by climate change induced droughts. Its also the fruitbowl of America and the world. Why dont you guys build a pipeline from the great lakes to the West Coast.

>The Great Lakes contained 21% of the world's surface fresh water around the year 2000: 5,472 cubic miles (22,810 km3), or 6.0×1015 U.S. gallons (2.3×1016 liters). This is enough water to cover the 48 contiguous U.S. states to a uniform depth of 9.5 feet (2.9 m). Although the lakes contain a large percentage of the world's fresh water, the Great Lakes supply only a small portion of U.S. drinking water on a national basis.[47]

Minnesotan here. Fuck right off. I live 30 miles from Lake Superior. We don't need some cancerous pussy state to suck our waters dry. Is this bait?

I recall Australia not too long ago had a plan to fill a dried up lake or something with salt water to make it rain inland, but I think it wouldn't work or something.

That's exactly what this is about, though. If they care about the environment so much why do they want to buid a massive pipeline across the entire country? The answer is that they only care about their local environment and think the rest of the country is nothing. Come back with your 'WE ARE ALL AMERICANS' line after Californians start acting like it.

Lake Erie and Ontario are heavily polluted, I wouldn't even swim in them. Michigan is likely polluted too.

Western New York, Buffalo reporting from Lake Eerie, no one around the lake will ever advocate for their water to be drained to unsustainable California.

why did you click on detroit?
>>
Because Californians use hundreds of gallons of water per day per person. The logic of pipelines is based on the consumption of oil which is closer to gallons per week. To build a pipeline that would get enough water to CA it would have to be hundreds of meters in diameter which is pretty fucking expensive and logistically difficult.

The reservoirs won't refill. They're constructed to refill over long periods of time, and remain full. It could rain for the next two weeks and it won't mean dick. California will just use up the water before it can be replaced. That's why this drought is so bad, not because "lol no rain", but because it's not raining over time.

>>61257105

Well, now you know. We have water, you know... what makes up 2/3rd of your body and what you can't go 3 days without before dying. Not only the great lakes but 10,000 natural, glacial lakes. I could walk 2 blocks and go to a lake right now. Fuck you, California, you don't get a single drop. Do what the rest of the world does and start building desalination plants, it's our water, cunts.

Artichokes, Brocoli, Garlic, Cauliflower, Canteloupe Melons, Spinach, Tomatoes, Carrots, Celery, Lettuce, Bell Peppers, Almonds Apricots, Avocados, Strawberries, Dates, Figs, Grapes, Kiwis, Lemons, Nectarines, Peaches, Pistacios, Plums, and Walnuts.

We produce 75% (often more, up to 93%) of those crops in America. Nobody else grows much of them here.

Oh, and we also produce like 85% of the country's milk and dairy products.

So, while you won't starve without us, you will have to live on a staple of grains, corn, and meat and no fruits or vegetables or nuts until you hash out a deal with South America for export.

We used to grow all of that in the midwest. Knox county melons, georgia peaches, michigan apples, wisconsin cherries, indiana tomatos. We can plant them again. It just means meat prices will go up a little and we quit adding corn squeezins to gasoline. Win-win.

I know. I've seen first hand the kind of land you have, and how many crop trucks you have going down the road. It makes the circle-farms you see out of the airplane window look like a joke.

But you have to be smart about it. Half the shit in my grocery store is grown overseas. If you have a water problem then you'd better get to work on fixing it. Otherwise, California is the next dust bowl, and, yes, that's a reference to the Great Depression and being labeled "Oakies."

Most of your farmers don't remember a time when they grew those, or how to maximize yields.

They're geared for corn and grain production, they'd have to spend millions on re-structuring their farms and wait years for the trees to mature and start producing.

It would work itself out eventually, but it would be 5 years or more before California's crops would be available for a sane price again, and they'd be seasonal instead of year-round.

Also, most of California's crops are in NORTHERN California. Not the desert.

I think Desalination would require less energy.
