You might want to read this from the NY Times. It seems that the states out west, where mostly Republican buffalo roam, are fighting among themselves for the little bit of water they have available.
The funny part is that, except for California’s governor, that big actor, many of the pols out there aren’t big believers in global warming.
Of course, we here in the land of 10,000 lakes can laugh. But as soon as they figure out a way to pipe our water over the Rockies, those pictures of the high and dry docks on Lake Superior will become just as common as the ones of those mud holes out west.
You know how those western movies about the water rights wars between the cattlemen and the farmers always turned out bad for the farmers? We’re the sodbusters, I fear, and there’s no Shane in sight.
