I hope it's wrong too, because severe sustained drought could
revive a project I heard about to flood the Rocky Mountain
Trench to divert water from northern Canada south to sustain
farming, cities, whay have you. From what I've read, the plan was
made in the 1940s and has been percolating ever since.

This sounds like it has the makings of a Soviet-class
environmental disaster, from one end of the project to another.
Seems like since the end of the Cold War, this continent is taking
on more and more characteristics of the defeated opponent.

But I fear there is so much money to be made in construction
and water sales that a lot of folks will push hard for it, and a big
time drought like you mention may just be enough of a trigger
to get it going.
