What if we had pipelines built to pump Florida water to Texas or California dessert?

    Let's all LOL that stupid idea off! 😂

    Anyway, how are those more important and useful oil pipelines going? Thousands of them as I understand, some coming from Canada. The Canadian pipelines are specially easy because you just have to go dig the dirt for tar, then you just dissolve it and pipe it up. It's not like water where you would have to do all sorts of crazy things like look at it to make sure it's still liquid, and like put the pipeline inlet where the water is and then have to actually pump it. It's an incomprehensible amount of impossible engineering work. Like for example for tar, it's pretty easy because it cakes on the wall so you send a pig plug to scrape the inside. But for water, man! It probably has fish it in and you might need to scrape it but also, who knows what the fish are planning. Definitely impossible to do.

    California checking in. We aren't on fire any more, mostly, we are having flooding issues. No more water please. Or at least stagger the deliveries out over the entire year, not just late Jan - May.

    Other nations have invented this weird technology where they dig holes. I think we could use that technology to dig holes and then maybe look at the holes 🕳️ for inspiration. Maybe someone, one day could figure out what to do with holes so that a huge amount of water could be stored locally. It's just so difficult. I mean, holes! Who knew....hold on the exopresident is still talking....yeah and Obama.
