Sure seems like a lot, even if they're returning water to the lake. I don't like the part in the story that this company has a poor environmental record, especially since Lake Michigan has a very fragile ecosystem right now due to invasive species. I hope they get rejected.

I want to go on record as "fuck anyone coming after our water".

For decades the hot dry states have made fun of the rust belt. I've always felt that our water was going to be king in the end and not the sob's are coming after that.

Compared to how much water that's already taken out...no.

I guess The Great Lakes Compact isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Once again we learn that tradition is only as strong as those willing to defend it.

Really Nigel? Inform us. What are the uses that water is extracted from the Great Lakes for prior to this approval?

You really do suck. i read the whole fucking article and your stupid assertion that "compared to the amount already taken out, no" is not justified anywhere in it.

How about back up your statement instead of acting like the information should be obvious to anyone with your superior deductive skills? Oh I know. Because you're a shitheel.

I guess you skipped over this part:

The agency downplayed the impact of the withdrawal, saying it would amount to only a 0.07 percent increase in total surface water withdrawal from Lake Michigan.

Have a great day!

See, the GLC is about withdrawls from the Great Lakes for public uses. The DNR can say "Oh, it's 0.07% increase" without saying what the other extractions are about. And you just swallow it and act like you have all the information. And OTPT is Nigel's cheerleader now. How great for you.

This. I’ve only been half-joking for years when mentioning the coming water wars. I hope the other states and provinces in the Compact sue the shit out of Wisconsin. Oh, and fuck Nestle, too.
