I didn't love the fact that he seems to be in favor of the Steelers only because they supported him during the campaign. But, then I remembered that it's only pro football, so who cares...

The Phoenix metro area is 4 million people living in the middle of the goddamned desert. Rivers that flow into Phoenix do not flow out. It is an unsustainable ecological disaster and I will be shocked if it still exists in 100 years.

"There's a lot of water floating around in the air everywhere, and inventor Max Whisson has figured out a way to extract it using Max Water, a wind-powered contraption he named after himself. Max Water uses the concept of condensation, where lower temperature allows less water to hang around in the air, and Whisson says that will amount to 10,000 liters per day dripping from this single rooftop device. Man, that's a lot of water."
@13 - That may work great in humid environments, but in dry Phoenix, the dew point is less that 50°F. That would take an enormous amount of energy to provide enough water for 4 million people. Also, removing moisture from the air on a large scale would drive the dew point down even more, requiring more energy, and so on.
