Per Grist, because the seven Colorado River Compact states still refuse to face reality, those are the top items.
Cloud-seeding? Doesn't work that well. Besides, to the degree it does work? A Plains state is just waiting to sue for water deprivation.

Oh, carbon capture doesn't work, either. Pro Publica has a great piece. The real sad problem is that, just like Big Tobacco, as described in detail in another story, is Big Oil buying off scientists to do its bidding. Related? Pro Publica does a deeper dive of how Big Oil, and specifically BP (stands for "Bullshitting about Petroleum") specifically bought off Princeton scientists in its "Wedges" study 22 years ago. https://www.propublica.org/article/wedges-climate-research-bp-fossil-fuel-princeton
