Mella, In a Hilo Bay Watershed class at UH, I learned that the California water wars have been waged for over a century, with a lot of really dirty politics (I had a little bit of an idea, but nowhere near the depth...a good book for the background on the California water issues, but slightly odd as to the future is "Cadillac Desert".
Being a retiree from one of the BIG THREE, Peak Oil is nothing new, all fossil fuels have a limit, as there is nothing resupplying the resource. Currently, more fossil fuels are being used than ever before, and the price is actually LOWER today (even last month) both in adjusted price and percent of income, than in the 70 oil crunch. This is the oddest take on supply & demand...supply is going down, demand is going up & the price is at a lower point than 30 years ago! (plus the epa ave. milage has gone down by almost 1 mile per gal in the last decade .... PROGRESS??? but I degress...., my little rant is over, It is a gorgeous sunset in the clouds over the water....
Have a glorious evening,
Aloha, Carey
