You contradict yourself. You claim it is scarce and then describe how it is so cheap that it is wasted. Anything scarce is going to be expensive. The market is currently clearing at that price. That is the price. Not expensive. You then use that as a lead in to an assertion that water is being sold cheap. That is step one to a corportae-induced price run up. This is already happening in Brazil where water sources are being bought by large US corporations and then being shut down. My reply to your post is Q.E.D. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
