Word is the city councilwoman who's the city's liaison with Entergy has forced them to take parallel paths to getting the power back on:

Which I'm pretty grateful for, obviously if left to their own devices they'd try the cheapest option first

Also they told the city the island situation would help during a recovery like this and then have been backing away from that now that the moment has come.

we talked about it a million pages ago but there was a plan to pull water from the missouri and dump it into the headwaters of the colorado. pretty interesting idea and probably feasible

while working overnight at a gas station at around 2-3am a woman came in from the hospital across the street and very solemnly looked at me after mentioning this new virus that was going around and then said, “you know what fracking is? they’re putting in a new water system alongside the existing one to poison it.”

she then nodded at me knowingly and walked out.

so I assume you are her.

canadian water is way more feasible, the plans were all completed by the parsons corporation and had general support in the parched west but didnt move forward because the big mid century drought ended.

the missouri study was just to make americans mad and divided some more so that its easier to agree to gently caress over the country that is totally dependent on us for trade and defense and cant stop us from making it happen the easy way or otherwise

This doesn't make sense I guess they were all tailgating each other or some of the top cars weren't paying attention and ramped off the road. Though if it happened at night I might be a bit more understanding.

Is there anywhere where people don’t relentlessly tailgate each other on the highway?
