Within the next 100 years, water will be more valuable than oil.
Don't get me started on that.... We have our own well, and great water, but the Regional District (think County) wants to require water licenses, and charge us for our water, even though all the costs incurred (digging/drilling, well liner, pump, pressure tank, and electricity) we have to pay for....Meanwhile, commercial bottlers of water in BC pay $2.25 per MILLION litres of water.... with no additional costs toward water management....

In the future, whoever controls the water & food is king. Might explain why Bill Gates has been purchasing large amounts of farm land?Looks like a plot out of a past sci-fi movie is now sounding more & more plausible.
Realistically the cleanest and most productive energy source is Nuclear. Have no idea why more plants are not built. I know about the two major failures but modern plants are extremely safe.

BobIn the area I use to live in any new wells being drilled will have a meter installed and if you use more than what they think you should use you will get charged for it even though as Bob said you paid for everything including the electric. Every gooberment is trying everything they can to get more tax money.
