“California’s in the midst of a 4-year-old drought. They tell us there’s a year’s supply of water left. What do you do about it?”
“I’m starting a Kickstarter campaign. I want $30 billion … to build a pipeline like the Alaska pipeline. Say, from Seattle — a place where there’s a lot of water. There’s too much water. How bad would it be to get a large, 4-foot pipeline, keep it aboveground — because if it leaks, you’re irrigating!”
And where would this water pipeline go?
“Bring it down here and fill one of our lakes! Lake Mead!”

it's not happening, bill.
not because washingtonians aren't sharing, caring people. we are. but let's be clear ~ you're not getting our water.
there's a credibility gap here. if california's drought problem is so bad, what are they doing opening breweries? and why should we fill up their lakes, when everyone knows they're just going to use the water to irrigate the desert landscaping of the rich and famous?
"The Desert Water Agency, which provides water to Palm Springs and nearby areas, reported consumption of 221 gallons per person per day for February of this year, above the state average of 77 gallons, according to numbers released by the State Water Resources Control Board."
so, bill, you're saying with california facing its worst drought in 12 centuries, you want to keep the taps flowing...with washington's water?
no. i mean, sorry and all...but no.
we have beer to make.
