>>1758873I don't live in a city, I went to ag school and I climb lol. I'm just not delusional about muh perfect nature and then pretending civilization should just stop running so we can all stare at the trees. Now, I don't think we should strip mine North America for the civilization currently operating between these shores, thank god we are preserving some nature and not just wiping it all out to feed California and New York. But... cheap hydro, or even maybe nuclear power, or something along those lines to provide some more rail coverage, I don't see the harm in that. America actually does have a lot of rail, I think, contrary to popular belief. But some cities could use some lines, and some lines can be extended.
and those water redistribution schemes fell out of favor for various reasons, and not because it was a bad idea necessarily. HydroQuebec does great.
