Western US states now baking in the global warming crisis brought on by science-and-climate change denial could cite Wednesday's anti-climatic announcement -
DNR ISSUES WAUKESHA DIVERSION APPROVAL, IMPLEMENTING GREAT LAKES COMPACT COUNCIL DECISION
- should they ever move to unwind a Great Lake management agreement's weakening diversion restrictions for permission to pipe in water, too, saying:
Hey, Wisconsin, you gave Waukesha a diversion which rewarded unrestrained annexations. You're willing to spend more public money to keep rewarding that sprawl with highway widening at the expense of clean air and environmental justice. And you even bent the diversion rules to fuel phantom, politically-inspired development by a wealthy multi-national corporation on prime agricultural land for Foxconn. So rules, shmooles, Wisconsin, we deserve our share, too.
And don't think the cross-country diversion idea recently floated again can't happen - or is not feasible - (they are piping oil from Alberta, Canada, Wyoming and Colorado to Wisconsin and the Gulf of Mexico) - especially as the parched UW west dries out and catches fire.
