Don't worry. That river will dry up. The amount of water Arizona is going to require and the amount they will have available are going to be miles apart very very soon.

It will be fun when the same SCOTUS which has essentially nullified the Supremacy Clause gets a case where Colorado just dams up their river at the Utah border like Sudan and Ethiopia.

I know very well that Arizona will be to the water wars what Florida is to global warming.

So after record and near record low rain and snowfall last year leading to even more severe drought conditions, parts of the west are now dealing with the complete opposite problem. Record snow and rain in the late spring has now led to record high water flows in some areas as it melts rapidly.

Yellowstone national park has been closed and is being evacuated. The north entrance near Gardiner MT is pretty much wiped out. The road has fallen into the river in numerous locations. I just saw video of what apparently was some national park employee housing falling into the river as well.

Last year at this time flows on my favorite river to fish in Idaho peaked at around 1000 cfs (cubic feet per second, 1 cfs=448 gallons per minute) on June 3rd and was down to 300 cfs by June 13 on its way to record low water. This year on June 13 it peaked at 4050 cfs (so far). 1000 cfs above the all time record from 1965. Median flow for this time of year is about 1100 cfs (over 111 years of records)

​​​​​​The Yellowstone river in Montana is at 37000 cfs in Livingston. Median for this time of year at that site is 12800 cfs based on 97 years of records.

There is still quite a bit of snow above 8-9000 feet in many areas. So things could get worse.
 
It was 96 here last Wednesday. After a short weekend break, the forecasters are saying 90 tomorrow, 99 Tuesday, 95 Wednesday, 90 Friday, and 92 Saturday. Those would usually be August temps. Nothing to worry about though!
 
I was fortunate enough to attend a meeting last week where I could listen to Mr. Obama's second Energy Sec (Ernie Moniz, 2013-2017).

I left very surprised. He sounded more like an EnSec from Bush or Reagan or Trump, or even Clinton, but not Obama.

He said we don't have a real plan that allows for the two to four decade energy transition we need. He said ESG has come too fast and is scaring financing away from technology (like Project Tundra) that we need for baseline load. He worried about EVs on an already unstable grid. And he said wind and solar were supposed to be the bridge, not the final outcome (pointing to carbon capture and nuclear).

I left the room stunned.

LOL. Tell me you're copy pasting for a RW source without telling me.

Ernie Moniz was the trustee of the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center in Saudi Arabia.
 
Doesn't matter. We as a species have killed the planet. We have blown our opportunity to moonshot alternative energy in time. And to top it all off we are running out of water.

Stick a fork in us. We are done.
