* California farms face cutoff of federal water
* One of the largest fleets ever – idle from global recession
* Melting glaciers causing rising sea levels
Catastrophe everywhere! What do these three disasters have to do with one another? Combine the three, and the disasters disappear.
There’s a market for fresh water in Collyfornia, but the government won’t allow further depletion of the local aquifer. There are some seven hundred ships not making money, ‘cause nobody’s importing goods. And finally, there’re those glaciers, breaking off icebergs and melting and giving everybody the heebie-jeebies (Run For The Hills!).
With me so far? (Get to the point! sys Ali BB) Steam those rusty hulks north out of Singapore. Waaaay north. Past Sarah Palin’s house. Got the cables? Maybe some bungee cords? We’re wranglin’ icebergs!
That’s right – before they melt, we’re takin’ ‘em to California! Those fat, glistening freshwater reservoirs are comin’ with us. They’re not raising sea levels. Oh no, they’re raising crops!
Farmers: Growing stuff.
Shippers: Shipping stuff.
Coastal Cities: Buying stuff – without wearing snorkels.
You may call the idea crazy. I call it Elegant.
Next: Mr. Iceberg, meet Ms. Sahara Desert.
