In 1964 when my then husband and I flew to Lake Havasu City in Arizona to possibly invest in property, they advised us that if we moved there, to drink a lot of water, because otherwise the desert heat would dehydrate us, because we were coming from a cooler climate.

Now, fast forward to the 21st century in which AI needs a tremendous amount of water, as you stated in your article here, what will your water bill be? Personally, I left the whole of the USA and have lived in the United Kingdom, which does have its own faults, but we have plenty of water for drinking. So good luck if you really do move there.

One of 5 public school superintendents who gave me a purchase order for my top secret history e-zine, is in Arizona. See Jon Jensen's name in the 11th paragraph of this link: http://www.truedemocracy.net/td4/01-editorial.html He was the Public School Superintendent of the Greeley County schools in the late 1990s when I sent a letter in the snail mail to approximately 20,000 of these officials who cared about his students so they'd learn the true history of their nation in nearly all of the 37 editions I published.

See, we had a president who wanted peace, the kind of peace we want, not the kind that the United Nations wants or Trump's 70 nations wants either. That's why I invariably sign off with

Peace,

The humidity is low in Arizona. For that reason, I couldn't reside there. I have lots of family there, and I would like to be close by. But, I would be miserable. The summers are brutal in Phoenix where they live.

Do you like high humidity?

The chinese workers didn't build a railroad, they uncovered one, but that's a different history than most know. I love 66 going through AZ, lots of fun for the fam travel back in the day, with my parents and then my own children. Look into Globe, very nice place. The thing about AZ is water, and what will happen there in a crisis. Its a very low threshold that they have given their needs. dk how they can solve that problem. Crazy how that plant had to switch over to drinking water. They are probably counting on getting rid of most of the people there.

Hi Jerome, thanks for chiming in. I can imagine about the railroad - as most of what we're told, especially in school history, is a lie. The water crisis is something I look forward to helping with - I think most people don't understand how bad it is. Thanks for mentioning Globe? Hope everything is well by you? Have you made your move permanent?

Jerome Armstrong's avatar

Hi Roman, yea, I finished my house this last month, and am now with national ID and residency, so here for good. Or at least for now. I hope it works out great for you.

Yes. Do you know about the recent dust storm in Phoenix ? My mother lives there. I don't know where Burning Man was held, but that was also severely disrupted by a recent dust storm.

Arizona needs a campaign to plant native trees and vegetation and to use other mitigating strategies to replenish the water table. The state only has under thirty years of available water at current consumption. With AI data centers the timeline may greatly accelerate.

Would like to know the source of true Tesla bulbs for household use

I have a friend who lives in Prescott! Congrats on the new job and thank you for your integrity. Banishing LED lights would be a huge step towards healthier living. IDK how people can work or live with them in their homes. And those headlights! 😳 Good luck with your move! Going to share this post with my friend. 🩷

Hi Barbara! That's amazing about your friend! Thanks for warm wishes, and helping our stars align (:

First thought just on reading your headline: So glad you're getting out of Canada. !! Wish my daughter and family could do the same.

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thank you Via. She could always apply for a business visa/ foreign investment.

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

Well, being my daughter, she’s USA born (Phila, in fact, O Jersey boy!) though her husband carries a Euro passport. Now both have Ca citizenship—(the irony, for her, of having had to swear allegiance to King Charles—when her ancestors fought for freedom from his ancestor). They tried for a couple of years to get US citizenship my son-in-law, unsuccessful, partly because US kept dawdling and forms had to be re-submitted (=$$$), in part because of vax requirement. Both are free of that toxic potion. I hadn’t known of that little trick requiring vax—knew SIL couldn‘t come to visit us for that reason, didn’t know that green card also hung on it! Interesting angle on the visa….thanks for that.

Fantastic news...congrats...and you will love the Southwest!

Thank you for all you do on behalf of humanity!

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thanks so much Pasheen! Have you visited there recently?

Best of luck with your move! I used to live in Tucson and left because of the unsustainable water situation, but I have fond memories of my time spent among the saguaros.

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thanks Doc! We appreciate your "warm" wishes. We'll be up in Prescott. Have you ever visited that area?

Ol' Doc Skepsis's avatar

YES. The entire Flagstaff area is awesome! Sedona suffers from too much new-age tourism, but the colors are beautiful. And the Mogollon Rim is spectacular. Just to the north in Utah is Bryce Canyon, possibly my favorite place on earth 😃

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Great to know Doc! Thanks for the tips (: We visited Sedona, and hear you, but it does make up for it with the incredible landscapes and "Old" Age Energy.

Susan's avatar

Exciting! Thanks for the news and the reasons 💕😎

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Hi Susan! Thank you! We appreciate your moral support (:

I enjoy your writing about light and dirty electricity. Please keep writing. If I could afford to be a paid subscriber, I would, but unfortunately, I can't. I pray safe travels and a blessed new adventure for you and your wife in Arizona. Jesus Christ is the Light of the World!

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Hi Truthseeker, thank you! We appreciate your kind words of moral support. If you can share our work - that goes a long way too. Bless You.

Thanks Roman! I am actually from Fortune not Forbes!

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Hi Sharon! Sorry about the typo - I just corrected it. I look forward to diving into your stack. What made you want to research AI? Anything in particular? Have you always been drawn to the tech world?

Arizona is beautiful, but it has the worst water quality and the worst air quality in America. The Government let the mining companies destroy the environment. And with the decades-long weather warfare drought, frequent sandstorms are life-threatening.

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Hi Gene, thanks for your thoughtful comment and insight. I can imagine what it will be like now especially with the infrastructure being built up. We'll probably be 2 hrs northwest of Phoenix. Do you live in AZ?

Gene Bray's avatar

Hi Roman. I have been to Arizona a few times. The northern part of the state , way up in the high pines the air was magnificent. But maybe I was just lucky. The air in Arizona is ranked the worst in the country. And the water is the third worst. Spend a month there and you will have a better idea. I would suggest rent before you buy.

Be sure and visit the 1611 King James Bible Museum and ask Gary to take you on a tour, truly amazing. Cave Creek AZ.

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thank you! I made a note. Bohdanna and I love museums, so we will make a point to stop here.

Thanks so much!

Welcome to AZ! The 5G towers are plentiful. Not as much up in Prescott. You will love it!

Roman S Shapoval's avatar

Thanks Kelliann! Do you live in AZ?

Hi, I’m not sure. I understand after reading that article while you’re moving there. For one you’re moving there because you got a job. and the other is because of sunlight. But if you’re moving to avoid EMF, why would you want to go to a state that’s gonna have one of the biggest accumulation of AI data centers? Won’t those be putting out tons of EMF? Maybe I’m missing something. But other than moving for the job and the abundant sunlight, it’s not clear to me while you’re moving. I’m asking because I truly want to know if there are other reasons you’re moving. Is it because you want to join the fight against the AI data centers????

Best of luck with your move!!. I am glad you are getting out of Canada. I have driven near Prescott but never visited. Jack Kruse mentions the water is not good in Arizona, hopefully you can get around that.
