As I think about President Obama plan to build a train between Tampa and Orlando it seems to be just another green plan to get us out of are cars as if people will ride it at a cost of 6 to 8 billion dollars that we don’t have maybe it is just to create jobs but that won’t be enough jobs to right this ship and it won’t cure global warming
Throughout America there are Aquifer that we have been depleting for decades for farmers to water crops, for city water supplies, for industrial needs. The point is that theses water supplies have been greatly depleted and with the global warming they say the ocean level is going up so rather than build a train that will not probably generate the riders or profits to pay for it self , why don’t we build desalination plants and create a pipeline to the inland Aquifer to refill our water supply in the Aquifer like the ogallala aquifer it is used by farmers in 6 states in the grain belt and while we move the water we could use the siphoning process to move it up and create smaller electrical generation
plants where it runs down creating a more secure power grid and creating jobs nation wide seeing that we have Aquifer all across America and as for the cost because of the irresponsible spending in the last years. We should create a national lottery with a profits to go to the water project 60% to the project the rest to administration and prizes but to get people to play have the winnings be tax free.
With all the talk about climate change and water shortages that all ready exist in California and other west coast states farmer unable to grow crops because of endanger species in conflict over the water supply a national project to refill the aquifer and create power plants using the water movement would create tens of thousands of jobs protect us from the future droughts the climate change people talk about allow farmers to prosper even in times of drought and allow us to hopefully leave a future to are children and maybe if we can improve the technology in desalination we can build some plants in Africa to help ease the pain of the terrible droughts they are facing now.
