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 + |
You just gave a geography speech on the Great Lakes - to a guy who lives between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. My Loyalist ancestors settled the area in the 1700s.
About a mile from here is a hilltop where I can see both lakes - Lake Ontario to the north and Erie to the south.
A few more miles from here is the Niagara hydro plants you speak of. We kept the lights on and the beer cold during the northeast blackout in '03.
