The proper way to do such a project is to use FLOOD WATERS from the midwest - not tap the mighty mississip.
The sad truth is that nuisance flood waters which otherwise pollute and destroy could easily be diverted to retention ponds and shipped over the rockies - but instead, we treat this country like a bic lighter.
The midwest has a flooding problem - for a fact. Shipping that water over the rockies solves that problem - while giving us the opportunity to reduce our trade deficit with the crops which can be produced from those nuisance waters. The pipeline could also be daylighted along the route to create residential, recreational and commercial opportunities, which would help to pay the project's cost. What's wanting is leadership.
Now, I would gladly divert the plastic and garbage **** from the Mississippi that comes down the river starting in Minnesota.
