Ugh! I was in Vegas last night and there was a lot of murmuring about @KirkCousins8. I was afraid what I was hearing made a lot of since. And now, I know it was real.
Just wanted to say THANKS to Kirk! You gave the Nation something to cheer for. I'm sure you have been

Corpus Christi is currently facing a stark environmental reality. A coastal city of over 300,000 residents is on the verge of exhausting its primary reservoir water supply, potentially making it the first major U.S. municipality to run completely dry.
The crisis stems from a severe collision of extreme climate patterns and surging industrial demand. A historic five-year drought has left the South Texas region deeply parched. Simultaneously, massive local petrochemical and plastics manufacturing facilities require enormous volumes of water for their daily cooling operations. To put this into perspective, a single industrial complex can consume as much water in one day as the city's entire residential population combined.
Although early 2026 brought a brief period of unseasonal rainfall, the city's reservoirs remain critically low, hovering at an emergency one-year supply level. Proposed infrastructure solutions, such as a large-scale seawater desalination plant, have unfortunately been stalled by high costs and environmental concerns, leaving the city without a reliable backup.
As industrial consumption continues, residents are left to navigate strict drought restrictions. Environmental scientists warn that if the reservoirs are fully depleted, the resulting water blackouts would devastate households, hospitals, and local industry alike. This developing situation serves as a critical, real-world case study on the fragile balance between industrial expansion and essential resource management in an increasingly unpredictable climate.
