Water... Water... Nowhere

As if there wasn't enough in the world to worry about, Roger Bate says you should be concerned about water.

I think that Mr. Bate is probably right, and that we are going have to allow a real market in water to exist. Selling water at less than cost will eventually lead to ruin.

I also think that desalination is the way to go for future water supplies. Our freshwater supplies are going to be maxed or tapped out in the future, and here is an apparently inexhaustible supply.

Here's an article on some proposals to build desalination plants in Florida.
