Excuse me? The shithole state I live in, Michigan ( famous for Detroit and Robocob :P) is surrounded by one of the greatest assets of mankind -- the Great Lakes -- the Great Lakes also owned by Canada, Ohio (remember Cleveland - ''the mistake on the Lake''), Illinois (Chi-town), New York State (the hydro-electric plants at Niagara feed both Canada and the US Eastern Area).
You are welcome to build a pipeline but we may charge you $10 a gallon at the 'wellhead'.
It rained last night 2" here -- set some buckets out to collect it next time and truck it to LA -- it will cost you $200 / gal delivered.
I used to laugh at everyone here saying ''one day the world will move here for our water'' -- now I take the thought more seriously. If people immigrate here for the water we have, my property values will zoom
With global warming our winters may be milder +
