USA has so many decommissioned oil/gas pipelines that could be repurposed into transporting TX flood waters to drought areas, but we'd rather shame Mexico for stealing water during droughts. 91% of MXN export crops go to the US. After all, the US is a huge source of emissions and climate change.

It's buried in the report, but it looks like the alternative fuels is non-US coal.

Focus: China's U.S. ethane imports to surge in 2025 in drive to cut costs

West Texas earthquake, pipeline explosion under investigation. Are they linked?
The earthquake struck an area where the Texas Railroad Commission has worked to curb wastewater injection -- a practice it links to a rash of earthquakes there.
