Doesnt happen.
Water changes form, from solid to liquid to gas, but it is always able to change back again.
It doesnt just vanish. There is just as much water now as there was 5000 years ago...
the only thing that changes is its form  |
He didn't say "We're running out of water". He said there was an impending crisis in areas where the oil shale is, and he's right. Utah is a desert, and we are always right on the edge when it comes to having enough water. If it really takes that much, we will need to get it from somewhere else, and that's going to add to the cost. |
true - i was toying with the idea of putting in a disclaimer saying that i know Tchocky didnt say it himself..
Living down under, where about 70% of the bloody place is desert, i know exactly what you mean. its another, hidden cost, one of those that never seems to be recognised but is always sitting there in the shadows.
