I think our next major crisis in the years ahead will be our reliance on water. In 10-15 years it will be $5 a gallon (if you can get it) and the government is doing very little about it. The big boys have been quietly buying up the major water rights and soon we will be at their mercy. Probably the same guys that have stifled all technical advances in this country to make us depend on oil. We are all royally screwed and will die and our children will die too unless each and everyone of us puts in a biomass electric generation plant in our back yard, and screw the Big Boys NOW!!!!
