HB Cost in money and greenhouse gases would be the obvious answer, not that the later seems to bother too many. D Uh, let's look at those factors: Cost: If Nature (or global warming) continues to dry us up out here on the West Coast of the U.S. how else are we going to get water for nearly 40,000,000 in California alone, not counting other affected states like Arizona & New Mexico. Thirty years since James Hansen told Congress exactly what would happen and when, it is coming true as predicted. Even the most corrupt legislator will be forced to listen to their constituents rather than continuing their long, well-emunerated love affair with Big Oil, Big Coal, and other constituents of global warming. Greenhouse gases: Not sure I see the relevance, but have a look at what's been happening in the Middle East. The relevance is that RO is very energy intensive and unless you source your power from non-fossil sources you will be compounding the problem.

What a ridiculous reaction. D |
