William Shatner to launch $30 billion Kickstarter campaign for water
pipeline to California

William Shatner wants to turn to crowdfunding to build a water pipeline
from Seattle to Nevada's Lake Mead to fix California's drought.

Shatner, 84, revealed the news in a Yahoo! interview, saying, "So I'm
starting a Kickstarter campaign. I want $30 billion...to build a
pipeline like the Alaska pipeline. Say, from Seattle -- a place where
there's a lot of water. There's too much water. How bad would it be to
get a large, 4-foot pipeline, keep it aboveground -- because if it
leaks, you're irrigating!"
