Water? The world is made up of mostly water. This drought and fire danger are a hoax. Don't pay any attention to it. Al Gore is probably behind it all. Besides, it costs too much to fix. If something needs to be done then the Tea Party will let us know.
Water runs down hill and towards money. A comprehensive water strategy requires a comprehensive development strategy by someone other than developers and realtors. Nothing in our Governor's qualifications or experience suggests he is up to the task.
Repubs want to conserve anything? Hardly.
These are low blows to the Tea Party and not backed by any evidence. Tea Party are not in general global environmentalists, though I am. we do need to conserve water and we do need to reduce CO2 production. Unfortunately that won't happen for a decade or two. Maybe we should make a deal with Alberta to have a water pipeline sent down from there to here which will allow us to purchase Canadian water in drought conditions.
Then turn off all those water in LV and many other Casinos in Nevada!
Governor Hebert's idea of conversation is selling our water and rights to the highest bidder and shutting down supply to homes.
Water conservation must begin with controlled development and expansion. Utah has sold its soul to develop this state and valley and completely ignoring water department warnings of resources to support it. The last thing Utah needs is a Nuclear power plant in Moab desert that consume millions of barrels of water that cannot be cleaned, reused, or filtered. Dirty nuclear water cannot be recycled, it has to be buried hence jobs to dig holes.
Utah blew the Jordan valley conservation districts plans to pipe water from the Colorado to SL valley 50 years ago. Utah started the pipe line and laid pipe then quit and kept the multimillion dollar bond intact as a permanent taxing entity for a project long dead and never built. This fraud bonded tax is still on every persons Utah property tax every year and no one knows where the money goes. This bond is illegal maintained by fraudulently renaming it occasionally to keep it active.
Not only do we need accountable water based development, we need accountability for fraudulent water taxation.
