"No one has found a fatal flaw," he (not TBone) said.

Sandy sez:
"The fatal flaw here is the plan itself. The last thing the front range
needs is another 500,000 homes. The last thing this planet needs is
more humans."

"In fact," continued sandy (world famous philosopher and interpreter of
world events), "we not only need a steady state population,
we need a steady state model for the world's economy. Gross national
products cannot continue to grow indefinitely. We're using up the word's
resources. We need a fixed-sum steady state model for human populations
and economies both. Unbounded free-market libertarian capitalism is
dead. Or at least it should be. If it doesn't die, we will."

I agree with this completely but this should be controlled in the
vision, building codes, master plan, etc. Irrigation is a basic
provision that we haven't solved, even for the population that is here
now. My basic theory is that an efficient plumbing grid would not only
provide water distribution (there is always too much water someplace,
not enough in another) but that it would mitigate entirely the drought
related stress on trout in those over utilization, low flow, drought
years. I also wonder about global irrigation as a solution for
greenhouse gas problems. The pipeline is a no brainer to me.
