  I've always thought water was too cheap

  You know water is too cheap when people waste it by irrigating their senseless grass lawns (hey, why not grow some FOOD, idiots).

  But my favorite is the assholes who use their water hoses as some sort of dirt broom on their driveway. You know the ones who "wash" their driveway with gallons and gallons of water, for no apparent reason?

  If water reflected it's true cost and value, people would be a lot less inclined to waste it. Not that I particularly want to pay more, but I think $0.50 a gallon is reasonable.

  I'm not sure what it amounts to with current average prices in the U.S., but when people can get away with wasting it left and right all day long and still only pay $30 a month -- well that's just retarded.

  Then again, I also think gas should be $5 a gallon so people would stop wasting it so much.

  Anywho, there is another good book on water crisis called "Cadillac Desert", about the American west. I've only read the first bit of it, but I should be finishing it soon. So far so good.On When the Rivers Run Dry posted 3 years, 5 months ago 7 Responses
