AZ’s Water Crisis: Textbook Doom & Gloom Socialist Powergrab

brains

Under their playbook’s basic rubric, “never let a good crisis go to waste”, Arizona’s shabby, Hard-Left based gang of *high-IQ stupid people, a.k.a. Tucson, is now licking their chops at the prospect of controlling all water in the Grand Canyon State.

You can see this coming a mile away, as one “expert” after another is trotted before a gullible & fearful public, to recite reams & reams of statistics on how this is the end of the world.  Really, it’s the end of the world! Don’t you believe me?  Thank God my children didn’t have to grow up with this suicidal pessimism (or attend UA).

This is what the Left does. By constantly emphasizing how terrible things are going to be, and using their fading propaganda tools, like Tucson’s notorious RedStar newspaper, they hammer home the fatalistic message, “this is really your fault.”

It’s all about destroying our will to tackle the problem.

Such was the somber tone of this past Sunday’s end-of-the-world, water dirge by the Star’s Tony Davis.  Since their disgusted Timmie-B-Steller’s repeated hints about leaving the Tucson Left’s rag-o-record, Davis’ work has been pushed into the spotlight.  Plus, it plays well with their sinecured uber-liberal, haute couture readership base.  The same local bunch whose motto is, “Pull up the ladder, Jack, I’ve got mine.”

I’ve gone back several years and reviewed every one of these morbid tomes on our pending desertification, and not a single one of them has proposed a supply side solution.  That’s if ….they even proposed a solution.  Which a few do, and it’s always the same thing: brutal conservation and more government control.

Don’t get me wrong here: we DO HAVE a looming water crisis; we DO NEED to conserve where we can and PRICE WATER at free market rates.  But we also need to get creative and use this as an opportunity to expand Arizona as a  higher value-added economy.  That’s how Israel did it, using their creativity & brainpower in the 1960’s to dominate the tech & markets for drip-irrigation and exported fresh fruits & veggies.

It’s the same giant ag-strategy the Mexicans in Sonora are doing right now, and like Arizona, are in the same looming water pickle.  But we have desal technology, and they have an inexhaustible source of water.

As I’ve noted before, the truly synergistic solution is right under our noses.  Desalinate Baja water using factory-built (in AZ), small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) for the el cheapo power requirements, and new filtration technologies like graphene & others (also built in AZ), to demonstrate to the world (& the nihilistic AZ Hard-Left), how this would work.

Create an Arizona SMR-desal export model to those impoverished countries so they too, can prosper.  For what it’s worth, this is exactly the Chinese plan for global influence, if it makes any difference.
