Mexico is offering water to South Texas. But there’s a catch farmers aren’t happy about. #Mexico #US #water #agriculture #Texas https://www.tpr.org/environment/2024-10-26/mexico-is-offering-water-to-south-texas-but-theres-a-catch-farmers-arent-happy-about
@singlemaltgirl Yes, Good old Texas and its lack of commitment to the environment and industry regulations.
On top of tesla and all the other large corporations that Gov Abbott bends over backwards for with all kinds of incentives for them at the cost of Texas tax payers... many of them are terrible water wasters. All the fresh water needed for drilling/excavating oil & gas, and the Bitcoin miners need a huge amount of electricity & water for cooling.
Soooooo... Texas has a big political problem that is leaving the state in severe water shortage.
@QueenOfEverything @singlemaltgirl Republican Texas motto: Government hands off everything except women, no taxes, and last in education and welfare.
@Victor isn't this the state where they're allowing musk to pollute their limited fresh water reserves?
yeah, that move of space x to texas is going to work out real well.
texas may was to invest in some desalination plants. now. cuz they take a long time to build & are expensive as fuck.
i hope all those state taxes musk is paying helps offset all his pollution.
oh wait. didn't he move to texas to avoid cali's state taxes?
good luck texas.
