  To continue the conversation, if you want to know the BTUs per cord (a stack of split wood 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet)of seasoned hardwood or softwood, check out this article from Mother Earth News magazine, the largest environmental magazine in the U.S.

  Canadian Water

  Gooood grief!! I lived for a few years in Phoenix - and no one should! It is a desert, or was. Now it is a polluted, humid pollen zone. Just because we can transform a desert into a green oasis, does not mean we should.
  There are cities all over the north east with water, houses, commercial property and all of the necessary services just sitting there waiting to be put back into use after the migration to the promised land of sand, sun and swimming pools.
  How crazy is it to import water a thousand miles or more to make fountains, golf courses and swimming pools ( not to mention basic infrastructure needs), in a place where most people run from air conditioning to air conditioning and where pale, Anglo-Saxon bred folks  spend thousants of dollars to have pre-cancerous lesions removed, caused by over exposure to a semi-tropical sun?
  Canada should keep its water. We just waste and pollute most of it anyway.
