So, to the anti-data center types. What's the winning move here? Let China do it all, or bitch and moan like Al gore about the environment that in the end might pollute a little bit but is all bullshit.

I don't know what luddites even want anymore. I guess back to the caves so gaia earth will heal while the pajeets and chinks run things.
I'd rather we have water than try to "beat China" at some new space race that came out of thin air a few years ago. Should Amazon be more like TEMU by your logic, or do you think QoL might matter somewhat?

This but unironically

Again, you got leftists like Tech connections saying statewide solar farms is a great idea even though it wrecks everything, but it's 'carbon neutral' in their minds so is good. Then like you showed, you got luddites and losers that think this other dozen 400 acres stuff is going to end us all. Nobody can moderate their perspectives. Don't understand the amazon being temu thing sorry.

The cut the tech like space and whatever 'current scary tech thing is' and thinking it'll feed the africans is a special kind of retardation.
 
The almond orchards and a lot of these other farms have been around for decades, though. The percentage of water used by agriculture as a whole out west has actually dropped due to the rapid urbanization in the last couple of generations, but they're still the majority of users.

The main problem is that a lot of these water projects and management systems were built in the 20th century, when we happened to luck into a relatively wet period with a lot more years during that time with average or higher than average precipitation, than dry years. The Colorado River Compact was drawn up based on a single, particularly wet year, and that thing covers seven fucking large states. I have a photo from March of 2000 at Hoover Dam that shows Lake Mead at the absolute top of the intake towers, and it hadn't even captured the main April runoff period yet. This is what it looked like in June four years ago:

The snowpack level in Colorado this past year was absolutely awful, and the Bureau of Reclamation is predicting that Lake Mead and Lake Powell might even hit deadpool status this summer. AI centers or not, the west needs to get serious really fucking quick about how its water is managed, because the only real hope the region has--redrawing the state lines along their watersheds, like John Wesley Powell proposed, and implementing a riparian rather than prior appropriation water laws--is politically impossible. And as you point out, that doesn't even get into California's relative green cult stupidity.
time to revive the North American Water and Power Alliance

I climbed up there. My fav is the smaller sites like Petrified Forest national park. You can see the rock outlines of the houses, foundations of places. I really wish I could go to Rome even just Byzantine Anatolia or England stuff that has stuff so much still existent that is cooler. Arches National Park has similar, not super ancient leftovers, maybe 600 years, but long before euros came. It's cool cause it's not renowned like the Euro sites even though Europe is full of 1500+ year old ruins that are still more impressive than most US Native ruins.

But I did love hunting those areas for petroglyphs, had an old book that showed if you go off trail you can find them. In a way those simpler things are pretty amazing.

The NA Natives mostly built of wood and they're just long gone, but probably impressive at the time for sure. I saw the giant mound east of St Louis, it's still impressive, but most of it was wood all around and long gone. Only in the Maya/Inca used much stone work, never been there.

Petrified Forest has a lot of these, among all the painted desert and wild colored hills. It's really magical.

Never got to go to Pueblo Canyon (Casa Grande) itself, which wasn't all that far off in the end, but out reaches that by a lot I hear.
Yeah, if you go to the late Desert Drifter's YouTube channel, you start to realize that Puebloan culture was a lot more sophisticated and widespread than people realize. It's one of the reasons I don't necessarily mind a lot of these places coming under BLM control in order to preserve them. The caveat is that a lot of these dwellings don't appear to be permanent like Mesa Verde, Chaco, or Gila Wilderness, they were probably seasonal and dependent on water availability. But they'll have spots in the most random fucking areas, like House on Fire and Natural Bridges National Monument near Bears Ears, and you end up wondering what led people to build in that particular spot and how long it was used.

About the desert drifter, I never really got into his stuff too much cause I mostly traveled those areas myself. But look at this shit and be angry as fuck

Just 10 years for killing him in a DUI. Fucking Colorado blue state.

There, again, is a solution to the liberals and blue statism that needs to be done. It's sad really. The will isn't there yet.

Stay mad my friends. Stay mad. Vote. Don't let the democrats and these people do this shit more. Remember Iyrina..

Fight. Don't be discouraged by these fake online polls and influencers for God's sake.

I looked into watershed maps before for the west, and hilariously enough I do think California is, ironically, the best-matched in terms of current map/political versus watershed/natural boundaries that keep it looking recognizable. Nevada and Utah are fairly recognizable in their northern, western, and eastern borders going by river basins, it's the southern/Colorado River parts to figure out. New Mexico and Arizona I'd have to dig into more to see if they'd be in anyway recognizable to current map lines trying to fit them into various watershed borders.
 
Jews don't want you to know about "human on a treadmill power". Literally just pay like 5000 dudes to go on a treadmill for an hour and keep switching them out. You can pay them in hamburgers, they're a renewable resource.

Several Mossad squads have been dispatched to silence me on this issue.

Sort of, mainly because the northern parts do get a lot of precipitation by the coast. This is the map that Powell drew up, and it really only bears a vague resemblance to the current boundary lines covering the Mojave area, because the rest were almost all drawn up for political reasons. There's no way in hell the Senate would ever agree to dilute their political power by that much, yesterday or today.

Agreed fully, don't worry.

I figure in classic American fashion that would have the political will to change borders up while keeping them distinctly recognizable we'll see some straight lines here-and-there kept. An inversion of how some eastern state borders almost, but not quite, follow natural boundaries when you would think they'd do that for the sake of making sense (as examples as good as any here - thinking of South Carolina's Little Pee Dee River, the Indian River/Bay in Delaware vis-a-vis Maryland, or the Beaver/Shenango Rivers of Pennsylvania against Ohio...).

I’d rather not pay for leeches though. I’d rather go to mars.

We should have not destroyed the dams and we should have started creating desalination plants yesterday. We’re retarded for not making them or nuclear power plants.
 
Watching Hasan genuinely freak the fuck out over his Cuba "visit" is honestly hilarious. It's almost a guarantee that nothing will happen, maybe he'll pay a fine or something, but fuck if it isn't funny watching him actually sweat with the waiting.

It's a classic case of the process is the punishment. They'll rake him and force him to leave the house a bunch and sweat. Fed crime stuff though can get serious. And like on the thread the bigger targets in the end are code pink and general leftist sponsored terrorist groups that those types are all intertwined with.

Oh, absolutely. Hasan is a scumbag, but he obviously isn't the main target of this "investigation". They want to find out what he knows, if anything at all.
 
Not sure how I made you and others feel im trying to force you into a win/lose situation I just like being able to have the discussion even if you dont agree with me, often especially then as it allows me to refine my views better.
You didn't, really, save that sometime you get really into one interesting tree in a massive forest of them, and proceed to minddump in this thread. And sometimes, you do that about things best left to one of the conspiracy/schizo/schizo-conspiracy/topical threads.

And I was being a bit of a dick, myself. I hurt my back a while ago, and I keep trying to do too much before I can, thus making it worse. The pills they gave me make me feel like shit and a bit nutty, so I'm rawdogging the pain today, aside from a back brace and some ointment, and I was bitchy. Not exactly an excuse, nor one that's fair to you, but there it is, and I own it.

FWIW I do apologize if I came off overly harsh. Overly being subjective, here of all places especially. And sometimes a brotha just gotta preach. I think you of all people would understand that! :lol:

The tech companies are literally building their own powerplants on site.
Do you actually believe this?

SOME are. That's a pretty important distinction. I don't care if a datacenter in utah build an eleventy billion gigawatt antimatter reactor to power itself, because the ones they are actively trying to build within 100 miles of me are going to be on the same grid I am, and even the energy company here says everyone's rates will go up with higher demand from data centers.

Until every data center new and old actually does this (hint: they're not! Not anytime soon, probably not ever for many/most. You're consuming too much PR if you buy that) you're going to pay higher rates on the same grid as a datacenter. Even on a neighboring grid you might be impacted.
