Since there is no reply to Cole's latest missive, where in the hell are they going to get this water for $5Billion? There ISN'T any water to get unless they invest in desalination plants on the coast of Cali and pipe the water to Nevada, GET IT?
..
And I Do understand that building EV is important I OWN ONE already and use solar on my house and barn to power it. I am one of the good guys, Cole, not some ignorant boob who can't see the right way to do things. I just think the factory is being built in the stupidest place possible given the drought that is not going to end any time soon. Hell you have articles on this site detailing how horrific this is going to get no matter who builds what where. Do you not read your own site? https://www.juancole.com/2013/12/southwest-becoming-permanent.html https://www.juancole.com/2014/02/fracking-causes-drought.html
What is your take on them building this factory where there is a long term drought? Since there will be more workers moving in to get those jobs, that means even more strain on the environment and we all know a factory uses plenty of water as well.
While I love the idea of this factory, it should not have been built where there is no water for it and the new workers. Pretty stupid long term planning if you ask me. The drought is one reason we will not be moving west, ever. This one will not be a short 3 or 4 year drought, it;s going to be a long one with huge implications on industry, agriculture, and residents. Think Dust Bowl proportions.
All this was outed in 2006. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/04/70619
Sorry but color me not surprised and not outraged. The fact is, Snowden was talking with Greenwald and a movie producer a month before he was hired at BAH. He lied about his salary ($120K not $200K) and he lied to his employers about his credentials. He lied about what he knows, no way can one little techie have info on every single NSA agent and their whereabouts as this dope claims.
We are supposed to laud this dirt bag because he rehashed old NSA news? This guy is as lame as they come and anyone who jumps on his bandwagon is going to be butt hurt for quite some time.
Sadly, I don't think most of your predictions will come true. The way the planet is heating up, the south will be empty of people as they move to the poles for food, water, and living space. Diseases will ramp up, medical innovations will not keep pace, life expectancies will drop drastically in all areas as well as a huge decrease in land able to produce food and potable water.
Water is the new oil and unlike oil, it cannot be replaced by solar or wind power.
Besides Francis I is nothing more than a place holder pope, he won't change a damned thing no matte what continent he was born on (his parents were Italian by the way so it is arguable how "South American" he truly is.)
Where are these red staters going to get their football fix if there are no universities?
