Ron Aragon: Build a pipeline from Great Lakes to California

We need a “Keystone” pipeline from the Great Lakes to California! It’s fresh water! Brown is lying down for anti-solar and anti-desalination lobbyists! But, what has he got against valley farmers? He needs to declare a state of emergency and contact President Obama! It’s time to remember the line from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: “water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink!” Jerry, wake up, it’s water time!
