POPSGreat Lakes Basin Compact: Protect a Natural & National Treasure
The Great Lakes are a finite, non-renewable natural treasure - containing a combined total of 6 quadrillion gallons of water — one-fifth of the world's fresh surface water. The lakes span 10,900 miles of coastline along the United States and Canada. The surface area of the lakes is larger than the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire combined. In 1998, there was a Lake Superior-based company in Ontario that proposed to take water by tanker out of Lake Superior to Asia. This proposal failed and spurred the Great Lakes governors to take action. In 2001, they agreed to a framework to begin negotiating the compact. By 2005, they had a deal to take to their state legislatures...the base for the Great Lakes Basin Compact. It says clearly that the Great Lakes should not be the long-term water supply answer for any other part of the world or any other part of the country.

POPSCourt overturns Exxon $2.5bn fine It's important to have your men on the Supreme Court. It's at times like these that having 'friends' in high places pays off in spades. A $2.bn savings. Sure a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man, as we say over here. What's a lit bit of old fashioned I'll scratch yours if you'll scratch mine type corruption between friends. Sure aren't they dealing with corruption everyday. What's $2.bn. Change to these crooks really. And anyway, who lost out. Just a few victimless crimes and desperate fishermen. They're used to it by now. Roll on until the next spillage.
