An interesting second opinion -- https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/an-interstate-water-system-could-fix-the-wests-water-woes https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/an-interstate-wat... It posits that 10GW would be required to move the water (and I guess a fair amount of power could be recovered as hydro power). If a large land turbine can do 4MW, then 2500 such turbines would do the trick. Of course this wouldn't be cheap, but it would be a worthy investment in the future of the country. Much better than the $2T we set on fire in Afghanistan. Todays market is already artificially skewed by prior collective interventions (damming, canals, etc) -- let's do the next round a bit differently.
