Towing Icebergs to Australia For Freshwater

Look at them icebergs. Out there in the open ocean. Just sitting there. Made of freshwater. Melting away. Melting away into nothing. Nobody doing anything with them. What a waste.

Look at Australia. Land of desert and thirsty kangaroos. Starving for water. Crying out for it! Is there no possible solution??

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, members of the Australian scientific community seriously studied the possibility of harvesting Antarctic icebergs out on the open sea and towing them back to Australia.
