How to Fix the Fires in the West

Sugar Fire, California

As you know, California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada have been experiencing some of its worst fires this year, and the fire season has only begun.  For a very long time, I have thought that we, on the east coast, could send those states water, via pipelines.  Many people have told me that was not feasible.  I don’t believe them and was overjoyed to read that someone else has been thinking along the same lines as me.  Joseph Schulman, John Schaefer, and Henry Miller wrote an article about it entitled, “An “interstate water system” could fix the West’s water woes”. https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/an-interstate-water-system-could-fix-the-wests-water-woes They propose an interstate water system so that no part of the United States would experience water shortages and to help mitigate the wildfires racing across those lands.  The pipelines would create jobs and facilitate growth.  Let me know what you think.
