The Chosen One - Las Vegas Sun <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />groundwater treatment that Pat and her efforts will no longer be needed. In the meantime, <br />she is the best thing to happen to Nevada. Las Vegas is a job creating machine and through <br />conservation, the water can be stretched considerably. I applaud her efforts and the anti- <br />growth folks need to look at the entire picture. <br />Sprawl is not good, but growth IS. Smart growth is what is needed to make sure the <br />resources can be stretched and the footprint on our environment is minimal. If people want <br />growth to stop, then people should stop having children. It sounds absurd, yes, but so does <br />a person sayting "we should limit growth." It doesn't work that way. <br />By maceudora <br />6/8/o8 at 9 :44 a.m. <br />Suggest removal <br />First of all, let's give Emily Green a Pulitzer for bringing a great writing style to a very <br />complex subject. <br />California's thirst will go unabated and its political power is no match for that of Nevada's. <br />Therefore it is time to take a leadership position, something Pat Mulroy will not find <br />difficulty in acheiving. <br />There is no point sitting at the poker table with no chips. Soon water will be traded on <br />exchanges and we will see the resultant upward change to pricing for water as has happened <br />to crude oil. Therefore, in order to trade water with California, Nevada simply has to build a <br />water desalinization plant on the ocean in California near Los Angeles. <br />It does not matter whether, then, California refuses to trade a portion of its allotment or <br />simply buys it from our plant, we will have a chip and we can then enter the negotiations <br />with a strong hand. The cost of the supposed pipeline at $10 billion without the surety of <br />success is just a feint at the table, the real 'hand' will be to have excess potable water <br />available in California. <br />As a former Investment Banker I am sure we can raise the money and build the plant. The <br />Gulf States would not exist without this technology. Let's take the 'Upper Hand'. <br />By williamtomanyi <br />6/8/o8 at 9:49 a.m. <br />Suggest removal <br />Pat Mulroy is ruthless and a water thief. I hope she gets stopped before turning Central and <br />Eastern Nevada into another Owens Valley <br />By Aaron <br />6/8/o8 at 11:o1 a.m. <br />SuRRest removal <br />There's some pretty bad thinking masquerading as commentary here. How the hell is it <br />"stealing" water to follow the legal means of requesting water that no one currently uses or <br />has rights to and going through the formal, public process of letting the official state <br />government office tasked with managing the resource determine whether you can use what <br />no one else is? When you "steal" something you just take it, you don't go through a public, <br />formal legal process to be allocated the right to it by the state. Nor do you get a gazillion <br />agreements with the federal government to control any environmental impacts. Cripes ... the <br />ignorance of some extremists on this page is staggering. <br />Even if you could buy ranches in California... you couldn't get the water from them. The <br />water is controlled by the STATES not by farms. That's why Nevada State government needs <br />to determine what water can be used from the north down here. And the state of California <br />isn't going to let one drop leave that state to come here -- have you seen the problems THEY <br />http: / /www.lasvegassun.com/news /2008 /jun/08 /chosen -one/ 6/17/2008 <br />
