Oil Pipelines

The news about the Keystone oil and natural gas pipelines that were under consideration has died down. The news about Fracking has not. This willingness to drill and destroy natural water supplies astonishes many people, and not surprisingly they don’t like it. But here’s a thought: it looks as if we’re going to be in more desperate need of water than oil in the future. Just look at California.

How about a water pipeline from the far north (where there seems to be plenty) to the drought-stricken areas of the South? Even wet old Massachusetts suffers from a lack of water.

Or are our cars too important to us?
