The actor’s solution: build a water pipeline.

William Shatner plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign Monday to raise $30 billion to build a water pipeline from British Columbia, Canada, to southern California.

Shatner proposes naming the pipeline the Spock Waterway, after the Star Trek character played by the late Leonard Nimoy.

    a large funnel directly above malibu that reaches all the way up to the rainy skies and collects water from the pacific’s entire surface and drip feeds the LA lawns. Call it a puddle in the mind of Spock. 7yr olds are brilliant.

    They need to roll back some of the onerous water restrictions of the 70s and 80s. There’s plenty of water to be had, if you deregulate and just TAKE it. Either the fish will adapt, or they won’t. Survival of the fittest.

      No there is not plenty of water. California gets its water from the Sierra snowpack which is currently at its lowest level since they began keeping records..

      California’s snowpack is at historically low levels, a casualty of the state’s wimpy winter and ongoing drought.

      In Northern California, the Sierra Nevada snowpack’s water content is at its lowest late-March level since records began in 1950, at just 6% of the late-March average, the California Department of Water Resources said Monday.

      The snow’s water content is a key measurement for water resource managers, since it measures the amount that will trickle into the state’s reservoirs when it melts later in the spring.

        It’s called global warming for a reason. The snow pack is minimized by the warmer winter temps. The drought is worsened by the same changes.
        Much of the southwest was a desert before we ‘engineered’ it into a farming utopia. Nature tries to reclaim it’s own.

    And the upside is, if that pipeline does rupture it will only be …water.

    There was a plan touted some years ago to pipe the great lakes down to the southwest. That went nowhere just like this plan will.
