Viewed two rather interesting news reports yesterday. One, on the California energy situation pointed out an interesting fact - California has the lowest per user consumption of electricity in the country. Isn't it great? You do everything you can to use it wisely only to get punished for it by paying three to four times the national average ... when they let you have it that is. The second one was very depressing and shows us that just when you think you have it bad, it could be worse. It is reported that the drinkable water supply in some parts of the world is so low, so scarce that the C.I.A. expects regional wars to begin flaring within 5-10 years over water. Flash points include Turkey-Syria, Turkey-Iraq, Israel-Palestine, Israel-Jordan, Egypt and everyone south of them along the Nile, just about everywhere else in Africa and China is expected to hit a very, very major water shortage within 10 years or less. Now, where do over 2 billion Chinese go when they want a drink of water? Like I said, just when you think you have it bad ... Take care.
