Hi,
This is an excerpt from a much earlier blog that this blogger thought to repeat since THE PIPE DREAM isn't happening yet and the one article IN THE NEWS referring to it pronounced it AS: TOO EXPENSIVE.
IT TAKES TIME TO THINK "OUT OF THE BOX" and FREE IDEAS are always SUSPECT. But!!!!!!!! THINK ABOUT THE COST OF forest FIRES IN DROUGHTS. THINK ABOUT THE COST OF FLOODING WHEN THAT OCCURS. THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SUSTAIN DAMAGE FROM BOTH AND THEN ADD ALL THAT COST TOGETHER AND TELL ME LOGICALLY THAT COST IS CHEAPER THAN DOING WHAT IS SUGGESTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T THINK THE PEOPLE WHO GO THROUGH THOSE DISASTERS WOULD AGREE !!!!! NEVER MIND THE EMOTIONS OF LOSS WHICH ARE HORRENDOUS--THIS BLOGGER IS NOT INCLUDING THAT BUT JUST THE DOLLARS AND CENTS (SENSE?) COSTS SINCE FOLKS IN THOSE AREA WILL WILLINGLY PAY EXTRA ON A REAL SOLUTION !!!!!!! OKAY HERE IS the quote from the Cheers, Connie blog WITH SOME FURTHER IDEAS ON HOW ECONOMICALLY IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!!!!
"This is just an idea!!!!!!!!!!!!And I know it is a relatively expensive sounding idea until you examine it. Did we not complete an oil pipe line to Alaska????? OKAY, IF WE CAN DO THAT WHY CAN'T WE FIND ENGINEERS WHO CAN PIPE WATER!!!!!FROM THE FROZEN SNOWED ON NORTH OR THE FLOODS TO THE DROUGHT AREAS OF THE SOUTH AND WEST??????????
Piping flood water from one area to a drought area can't be much more difficult than piping oil halfway across the world!!!! ALL THAT SNOW WATER GOING TO WASTE!!!! WHERE ARE THE GREEN PREACHERS??????WHY ARE THEY NOT TRYING TO CONSERVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES?????????????? GET ON THE BALL AL GORE--THERE'S ANOTHER NOBEL PRIZE AWAITING!!!!!!!!!! Of course, there's no guarantee Al Gore can inconvenience as many people with this as his former subject of "Greening" but he'll find his way!!!!!!
This is REAL CONSERVATION!!!!Not a Mickey Mouse contribution. The Romans in ancient times handled water with a sophistication that should bring shame to modern attitudes.
COST????????Hey, ADD UP THE COST OF THE FLOODS, which create damage that lasts over many years. ADD UP THE COST OF THE DROUGHT AND FIRE damage that lasts over many years. It would mean great protection for ALL OUR CITIZENS from the rising costs of food, loss of property, and continued fear.
WHY CAN'T WE CAN'T PRODUCE THESE BENEFITS for our country just as we produced a highway system during Eisenhower's time as President. YES, THE PROFIT IS INTANGIBLE but it would COME TO EVERY AMERICAN AND THE GOVERNMENT IN UNCOUNTABLE WAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a WPA plan (Works Project Administration in Roosevelt's New Deal) TRYING TO SOLVE unemployment--the 30's would have nothing on us!
Just think if the nation reduced flooding and drought, there would only be the other major weather problems to stimulate the media into fear mongering"
OKAY--BIG QUESTION ALWAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE'S THE PROFIT???????????
IN THE WATER ITSELF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T MOST CITIZENS HAVE TO PAY FOR WATER TODAY JUST FOR THEIR HOMES ???????????? SO WE'RE ALREADY SELLING WATER AND IT'S GETTING ---MORE SCARCE THAN OIL--------- IN SOME PLACES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TALK TO THE MOVERS AND SHOVERS IN THE PLACES OF FIRES AND DROUGHT--AND FLOODING !!!!!!!!!!! HOW ABOUT TEXAS, LOUISIANA, PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY ??????????
TALK TO GOV. CHRISTIE IN JERSEY !!!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE SUFFERED MONSTROUS LOSSES THIS YEAR ALONE. COULD WE HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF THE STORM IN JERSEY ??????????? NOT YET!!!!!!!!!! COULD WE HAVE REMOVED THE SEVERE FLOODING ??????????? YOU BET IF WE HAD DONE THIS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THIS BLOGGER FIRST SUGGESTED DIRECTING THE WATER INTO PIPES headed FOR DROUGHT AREAS. WE ALREADY HAVE MANY PIPES IN PLACE FOR OTHER THINGS........CAN'T WE USE SOME OF THEM????????
THIS BLOGGER HEARS A LOT OF SELF RIGHTEOUS DO-GOODERS TALKING ABOUT CHANGING LIFE IN AMERICA BUT I DON'T HEAR ANY PALAVER ABOUT REAL CHANGE THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED FOR AMERICA'S CITIZENS.
YOUR CORRESPONDENT CAN'T EVEN GUESS AT THE COST OF HEALTH CARE IN THESE DISASTER AREAS NOR THE COST OF LIVES, LET ALONE THE COST OF PROPERTY. LET'S USE OUR IMMENSE TAX BASE FOR SOMETHING OF REAL HELP -- LIKE EISENHOWER DID WITH OUR ROAD SYSTEM.
LET'S ALSO APPROACH (DO WE DO THAT ANYMORE) PRIVATE INDUSTRY WHO CAN PROFIT FROM THE SALE OF WATER AND THE REMOVAL OF WATER. YOU DON'T OFTEN GET A CHANCE TO COLLECT AT BOTH ENDS !!!!!!!!!!
HEAR YE, HEAR YE, ENTREPRENEURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OR CAN WE USE THE PROFIT TO REPAY A TAX LOAN (DO WE DO THAT ANY MORE???????????). PROFIT IS THERE FOR THE INGENIOUS. IF JOBS ARE STILL NEEDED (THE PRESS DISAGREES-- YES OR NO) THIS WOULD CERTAINLY CREATE A REAL THRUST FORWARD.
DON'T WE HAVE ANY WILLING ENGINEERS OUT IN COMPUTERLAND OR KNOW ANY WHO WILL DONATE THEIR ENERGIES TO PRESENTING A PLAN?????????????--HOW TO DO IT !!!!!!!!! HOW MUCH PIPELINE ????????????? CAN WE LAY IT OVER OR UNDER EXISTING PIPELINES ?????????? MAYBE THROUGH THEM--THE WATER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CLEAN TO PUT OUT A FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUGGEST THE ROUTES TO NEEDED PLACES ?????? COME ON PEOPLE SHOW SOME FREE ENTERPRISE!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER MIGHT BE DOING IT NOW WITH AN ENGINEERING BACKGROUND.
IT'S AN IMMENSE JOB BUT SO WAS THE ROAD SYSTEM AND WE DID THAT !!!!!!!!!!! WHAT'S HAPPENED TO OUR SPIRIT OF "CAN DO"/ WILL DO"/ OR... THE IMPOSSIBLE JUST TAKES A LITTLE LONGER ??????????????? PLEASE SEND THIS OUT TO EVERYONE YOU CAN !!!!!!!!!SOMEONE OUT THERE REALLY WANTS TO GIVE BACK TO AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THIS IS A HISTORY MAKING WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
P.S. IF THIS IS BEING SNOOPED ON--PLEASE FORWARD TO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!
