They still need to get permission frown the Feds since were the levee is at.

Re: I wonder if the US has a unified water grid...

There will never be a Central water grid in the US .

Logistics is easy . Crude pipe line brings in cash. a Water pipe line does not. As result you will have those that don't want to pay for it. Taxes bad. Big Gov bad. Then politicians of 48 stats, crap load of counties and mayors. Then each states has the right to set water quality. Think revamping the NHS computer system to make it centralize and secure and getting the gov the foot the bill so each individual trust does not have to pay. I'm convinced you would have a better chance of that happening on time , on budget before the US would every have a central water grid.

kain preacher

You do know that levees are the purview of the state right ? They were built by the feds.

Re: I wonder if the US has a unified water grid...

That would require the individual states to work to gather . They get even dumber when it comes to water rights. To give the idea of the level of bullshit that would happen imagine this. Lets say that do to treaties with the UK an d the EU all UK nationals are required to have a national ID on them at all times to move about freely in the EU.

But why then did the UK just let him go ?

kain preacher

Re: It looks like they were quite desparate to pin something on him, judging by the last paragraph:

B.)The real person works for the GCHQ and far to valuable and the GCHQ set his ass up.This just does not smell right from the UK end. It could just be that he really really pissed the wrong person of or the GCHQ believes he did some thing far worse and don't want the egg on their face for using him.
