Daily Kos Post About Our Region's Water Surfaces Texas Interest In The Great Lakes

I put up a diary today on "Daily Kos" about the June 8th deadline for comments on Great Lakes conservation standards.

Check out the comment entitled "critically important !" on the diary about the Texas guy who thinks that when they run out of water in the Lonestar State, they'll come for the Great Lakes.

This is the interesting paragraph:

"And then, just last week, I was talking with an acquaintance from Texas. He was saying that where he was from (Ft. Worth area), the future of the aquifers is very problematic, but he's found it hard to get anyone to take water supply and conservation issues seriously. He recounted a conversation in which -- honestly! -- he was told, "Hey, we don't have to worry. If we run out, we'll just tap into those great big lakes up north.'"

Florida needs water. Arizona. Texas, too. We have it. Don't think that politically powerful lobbyists, members of Congress and businesses there won't work hard to bring the Great Lakes south.
