I just read The Death and Life of The Great Lakes and those Quagga mussels are very scary. I couldn’t imagine the destruction it would cause to Lake Powell if they spread.

The book also mentioned Lake Powell doesn’t fuck around. Even being in unbeknownst possession of a dead one can land you jail time iirc.

Humans suck at taking care of fresh water.

They are going to regardless. At this point it’s just a matter of putting a tourniquet on the problem until someone can find a viable solution that doesn’t introduce another invasive species to the fragile ecosystem.

But now that they are there, the cost of power generation is going to rise exponentially. Plus fisheries will eventually be devastated

Do you think spoon feeding these conspiracies to LEO’s while at the same time publicly admonishing Law Enforcement is conditioning an internal culture of division against the general public who believe all aspects of government, including law enforcement, should be transparent and accountable to that same public?

If so, can it be corrected, or are we headed towards one political party having their own private army?

Here where I live, in Colorado, some moron put northern pike in one of the reservoirs, making them the apex predator in an ecosystem of relatively passive fish. They had to drain the whole lake to eradicate them.

All because some asshole fisherman wanted to have more fight in their fish.
