You know, I always thought about how Utah asks to divert water and stuff. If the feds were smart, instead of piping from the Snake, they could build a nuclear-powered pipeline with inline desalination systems from the Oregon coast and run it alongside the Snake River route down into northern Utah, Idaho, and northeastern Nevada. Just a thought. Then they wouldn’t need to divert any water from the Snake itself. It would add new freshwater and agricultural supply, and they could regulate how much is used commercially. Utah also wouldn’t need to use as much energy, as long as the government didn’t sell out to data centers and get greedy.
