    I get the sentiment of the article but I disagree. I live in the Jackson Hole area and I am surrounded by billionaires. They have bought huge ranches and put the surrounding lands in environmental trusts. They have also bought a lot of farmland in the Idaho side of the mountain and also turned it into land trusts. The bottom line is that, thanks to climate change the weather is now milder and by reducing the water demands from farms, the area has plenty of fresh water, even during a drought. When you have the means, you can protect yourself.
