In this episode, we discuss false scarcity and how fear drives bad economic decisions, comparing self-sufficiency with the global benefits of free trade and the trust that arises from voluntary exchange. We examine the economics of water management, from property rights and groundwater to desalination and market incentives for conservation. We also cover corruption in sports betting, political hypocrisy in market regulation, and the populist rise of figures like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. We explore the decline of moderation in American politics, the failures of the two-party system, and what genuine self-government could look like in a more responsible democracy. 00:00 Introduction and Listener Mail 02:56 The Illusion of Scarcity and Economic Fear 04:14 Self-Sufficiency vs. the Benefits of Global Trade 05:11 Trust, Trade, and Peace Between Nations 08:24 Water Rights and the Economics of Groundwater 10:18 Innovation, Desalination, and Market Incentives 13:17 Sports Betting, Corruption, and the UFC Scandal 16:50 The Economics of Insider Trading 19:26 Foolishness of the Week: YouTube TV and Disney 24:05 Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Political Extremes 28:21 The Rise of Populism and the Fall of Moderation 34:03 How Social Media Empowers Extremists 45:29 The Need for Statesmanship Over Leadership 51:51 Breaking the Two-Party Grip on Power 54:08 How to Restore Self-Government and Public Trust Learn more about your ad choices.

Emma Kaʻilikapuolono Metcalf Beckley Nakuina (1847-1929) was a highly regarded authority on Hawaiian water rights law and unofficially considered Hawaii’s first female judge. Descended from an American sugar planter and a Hawaiian high chiefess, she was born a kaukau ali’i and educated in cultural customs and water rights from a young age. She was a curator of the Hawaiian National Museum, a Commissioner of Private Ways and Water Rights, a supporter of women’s suffrage, and a prolific writer on Hawaiian culture during the colonization of her homeland.

And so, some of that's taking a little bit longer.

The latest hearing on the state's massive Whatcom water rights lawsuit spent court time debating whether to use single- or double-sided printing for court forms mailed to local water users. Fred Likkel, Executive Director of Whatcom Family Farmers, joins Dillon with an update, and explains how the ridiculous point of conflict between state and county officials is emblematic of the fundamental flaws in the water rights adjudication process.
In Hawaii, it's hard to imagine any recent story bigger or deeper than water. The Lahaina wildfire that killed over 100 people and destroyed the entire town was fueled by uncontrolled dry grass on former sugar fields. West Maui was already the epicenter of the debate over who uses, controls, and profits from our precious, and often scarce, water supply. To become akamai on the issue, Hawaii News Now political and government reporter Daryl Huff sat down with Dr. Jonathan Likeke Scheuer, chair of the East Maui Regional Community Board (Water Authority) and former chair of the state Land Use Commission. Scheuer explained: How the sugar industry took control of stream water across the state. How Maui's water policy is related to the Lahaina wildfire disaster. Whether commercial development can coexist with stream restoration and stream-based agriculture. The state's messaging and actions on water policy.

About the Guest: Kyle Roerink is the Executive Director of the Great Basin Water Network. Roerink has been a pivotal figure in advocating for sustainable water management across the Great Basin and the Colorado Plateau. His organization has played a significant role in addressing critical issues related to water rights, environmental protection, and the ecological impact of industry and urban development in the arid Southwest. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of "90 Miles from Needles," Chris Clarke speaks with Kyle Roerink, Executive Director of the Great Basin Water Network, about the ongoing battles and emerging concerns regarding water rights and environmental conservation in the arid regions of the Great Basin and the Colorado River Basin. The conversation kicks off with a light-hearted discussion about an unusual statement from the former president regarding a mythical "faucet" to solve water issues in California, setting an intriguing tone about broader misconceptions and real challenges. The episode delves deep into current projects and proposals that threaten the water security and ecological balance in the regions. Roerink highlights the pressing issues surrounding lithium mining in Green River, Utah, and its potential environmental impact. The conversation explores the novel direct lithium extraction technology and the legal precedents it may set, impacting future mining projects in the area. The discussion also touches on the alarming number of proposed new dams and diversions in the Upper Colorado River Basin and the implications for downstream water rights and ecological health. Key Takeaways: Direct Lithium Extraction and Environmental Concerns: The controversial lithium mining project in Green River, Utah, utilizing direct lithium extraction technology, poses several environmental risks and legal challenges, particularly concerning groundwater rights and public welfare. Over-Allocation of Colorado River Water: The ongoing issues of water over-allocation on paper versus actual availability, exacerbated by climate change and decreasing water flows, put immense pressure on water management across the Colorado River Basin. Ecological and Legal Implications of New Dams and Diversions: The numerous proposed dam and diversion projects in the Upper Colorado River Basin underscore the need for rigorous scrutiny and sustainable planning to prevent exacerbating water shortages and ecological damage. Glen Canyon Dam and Long-term Water Management: Discussion on the feasibility and future of maintaining both Lake Mead and Lake Powell reservoirs, with a growing consensus favoring prioritizing Lake Mead due to infrastructural and water delivery benefits. Community and Environmental Advocacy: Highlighting the importance of grassroots advocacy, collaboration among diverse stakeholders, and the significant role of public knowledge and engagement in addressing the complex water issues in the arid Southwest. Notable Quotes: Kyle Roerink: "We can only do the green energy transition once. There's no room for error, there's no margin for error." Chris Clarke: "There's a whole lot of money that you can make in destroying the desert, but not too much in saving it." Kyle Roerink: "Mother Nature is the best teacher." Kyle Roerink: "I think, like post federal lands Policy and Management act, that post Flitma era and push that really bolstered the environmental movement." Kyle Roerink: "If we're to believe the nation's best scientists, the worst is yet to come."

On Friday, a new lithium mine in Green River announced that the Utah Division of Water Rights approved its application. The mine, owned by Anson Resources, was granted a flow rate of 19 cubic feet of water per second on the condition that all water used in the extraction process will be re-injected back into the aquifer after lithium has been removed. Following a drilling accident this spring, concerned residents protested the mine's water rights, spurring the state to re-evaluate the application. Friday's decision is the result of that review process. - Show Notes - • Green River residents voice concerns about lithium mine accident https://soundcloud.com/user-452372146-352514478/green-river-residents-voice-concerns-about-lithium-mine-accident • Photo: Anson Resource's lithium mine is located less than half a mile from the Green River.

Freshwater, i.e. non-salinated water, is arguably the most precious resource on earth, and in Oregon, by law, all water belongs to the public. However, if you examine who actually controls water usage in Oregon, you might come away with a very different impression.Water rights, and the laws that govern them, are incredibly consequential for both humans and ecosystems, and will only become more so in the coming years and decades.A few months ago, I attended a talk by Christopher Hall, executive director of The Water League, focused on Oregon's push to modernize our water code in the 2025 legislative session. I came away from that talk fired up about water rights, and I'm excited to be joined by him today to talk about The Water League's efforts to reform Oregon's water codes https://www.waterleague.org/Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

In recent years, local governments have begun to use water rights in the name of saving the environment as well as “endangered species.” However, the local farmers and ranchers who depend on the water are getting squeezed out, with their operations heavily impacted and the value of their properties significantly decreased.
