SP4: Where have you been Tonny?Oct 14th, 2007 - 17:52:46

Governor...your state is in a desert. Time to wake up. No one is buying your schemes.

These politicians have been discussing this for four decades, Tonny. Where have you been?

The west has been the USA's, ethic cleanser, food basket, raw materials basket, shelter for persecuted groups, exile region, environazi laboratory, nuclear waste dump, etc. Thanks a pantload folks.

Now, they want the central region to ante up. What are the chances of that?

1960's. - Water diversion for Southern California from the Columbia river

1970's - water diversion from the Mississippi to the southwest.

1980's - water diversion from Canada for southwest United States.

1990's - water diversion from both sources to the southwest.

Forgive me, but weren't we going to have global cooling in the 1970's? As you can see Tonny, while global climate change might spur the issue in some way, it certainly isn't the progenitor of the issue.


Tonny, the world wasn't born yesterday...just you.

The Richardson comment I think was a bit blown out of proportion by those who are skewed by their own political precepts. Richardson comments are not at all unrealistic considering what is taking place with the warm climate cycle that is mostly natural but amplified by industrial pollution in the atmosphere as well as the water. From a wider perspective, outside of Michigan, many Western states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Utah) have already worked together on water conservation as policy for years (this is where Richardson in coming from - its called working together). So nothing new or alarming here or nor will water conservation issue will go a way in the future because it not just a regional issue. Governor Richardson is absolutely correct about the water conservation and resource management no matter where we live, Michigan or elsewhere. We need to manage our water resources wisely and protect it from industrial pollution so that it is easy to purify for human use whether you are Michigan or Nevada. Most likely based on Richardson's mind-set, we will see technology innovation from the western states like California to resolve water shortages out West and conservation steps to protected the Great Lakes from industrial pollution unlike years pasted. Richardson is certainly ahead of the curve on this issue.
