After a few years of less, we have recently been getting more in Michigan. I have never seen Lake Superior at the level it reached this year, and that is after several years of being lower than normal. I also wonder why there isn't more talk of desalinization. Sunlight, salt-water, and tidal energy. There has to be a way to make that equation work.The problem is we're moving the water. The places we have been growing are becoming more arid; the places we haven't been growing are suffering torrential downpours.
