cadillac desert, revisited
The water problem in the west isn’t going away. It’s especially bad in Denver.
This is one of those problems whose only solution is more or less unacceptable to about 99% of the population, and that is to stop population growth dead in its tracks. That sort of proposal would never pass amongst the constituency.
The only other solution is to avoid having children and hope that you are dead by the time that the situation becomes urgent. That’s the path I plan on taking.
Life is depressing sometimes.
