Now were Talking Common Sense

The Las Vegas Sun actually gave Governor Gibbons a positive news story. I think this is the first time since - well I don't remember it ever happening. In "Gibbons takes another whack at pipeline plan" the Sun restrains itself from making any negative comments and sticks to just conflicting comments between Gibbons and one of his advisors. Read all of Gibbons comments in the Lahontian Valley News

But lets talk about the real meat behind the story. Doesn't this seem like common sense? Instead of spending BILLIONS of dollars buiding a pipeline to pump rural Nevada dry for a very thirsty Las Vegas lets spend BILLIONS and develope a NEW SOURCE for water instead. I mean really? Lets turn our unlimited salt water, covering 70% of the earth's surface into drinkable water instead of taking the limited ranchers and farmers water from rural Nevada. Now I understand that the Las Vegas Water Authority has bought up millions of acres in rural Nevada for the water rights and I don't begrudge the ranchers and farmers from selling to make a good profit but stopping this now is the BEST IDEA.

In fact why isn't EVERY POLITICIAN scrambling to support this? Harry Reid is so set against coal plants in rural Nevada for environmental reasons why would he not support Gibbons in stopping this pipeline for environmental reasons. Granted salt water is not as abundant and renewable as the sun, wind, and geothermal is but it is damn close. Before this gets any further PRONevada calls on our local and state politicians to become PRO Nevada and stop the pipeline before it goes any further!
