The trouble with "leveraging" the Great Lakes is that all but Lake Michigan are shared with Canada. Lake Ontario, for example, is pretty much split down the middle. 9+ million Canadians rely on that lake as cities like Toronto, Hamilton, Kingston and Mississauga are all on the lake. Would Canadians sit still while the US started draining off a resource so critical as their water?

He is absolutely right. The US should leverage the Great Lakes, Panama, Gatun.

As a Michigander, anyone that wants to divert Great Lakes waters is looking for a fight. Those lakes are Michigan.
Also, the Michigan militia.
