I mean that’s a good way to spend excess renewable energy, keep it in a reserve of water at the top of a mountain when there’s excess energy, use power turbines to recapture the energy when it comes down.

Not everywhere needs that strict water rationing, what about the very few parts of the globe that have an excess of fresh water?

You really should be quarantining and not having sex with strangers, gay or straight.

The aral sea was destroyed after the collapse of the soviet union, I have no doubt the united states would fuck up a monumental project like diverting water from the great lakes but a communist society might see it as a means to fight climate change, or at the very least keep people from dying from lack of water. Maybe we should ask is the great lakes worth more than the rest of north america, I don’t think it is.

The world’s getting exponentially hotter, earth is going to end up being too hot for human habitation not cold.

I mean at the end of it there won’t be.

And the alternative might just be no water.

It’s either that or let tens of millions of people die, it’s no permanent solution but considering the energy costs of desalination it may be the least environmentally damaging option.
