Comment on Flood water use

Perfect idea. Let’s drop a huge pipeline from the Mississippi all the way through to California. The energy to build the pipeline, and run the pumping stations will certainly not add to the already problematic energy causing climate change causing these droughts that we’re “fixing” with this huge pipeline.

How much water would a siper collider tunnel hold?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The Large Hadron Collider is 27.4 km in circumference and the tunnel is 3.8 metres.
So roughly 27400m x 11.34m^2= 310,716m^3
An Olympic sized swimming pool is 2,500 m^3 so it would be just under 125 of those.

From an individual standpoint thats a lotta watta

From a multinational consortium standpoint, that’s small enough to ignore.

The Mississippi River average flow rate is 21,749.5 m3/s so that’s like fourteen seconds of flow.
Fourteen seconds is also my record for sex.
