Traveled to Christmas party on Lake Lanier in Georgia last week. They were down more than 22 feet for over a year or more. Now the lake is a bit above full pool.

We talked about the water wars. Most of the party attendees were full time lake residents. Most realized that Georgia has to do something to accommodate the needs of Alabama and Georgia. One interesting suggestion they say is being mentioned is buying out Georgia Power’s power generation plant at the lake and making it a reservoir for Atlanta’s need. I am not real sure how this would impact the water war. Guess this would enable Atlanta to control water flow to meet their needs rather that Georgia Power’s need to generate electricity. Think this might be helpful?
