The Nation's Water Wars

I have blogged recently about the upcoming "water wars" between the states. The fact is fresh water will become the "gold" or "oil" of the next 100 years. As if on cue, this article discusses how much of the nation will have huge water shortages in the next few years. Call it Global Warming, call it man made.. who really cares? The fact is that water will become critically short.

When you look globally, it is even more of an issue. According to this article,  " by 2050, up to 2 billion people could be facing water shortages".

While we screw around fighting "yesterday's war" in Iraq, oil goes to $90 per barrel and water disappears.

Georgia - State of Emergency Declared due To Drought

Earlier I brought attention to the Drought situation in the United States. Now, today, comes word that Georgia has declared a state of emergency due to the incredible drought situation .

If you think that is only Georgia get ready for the "Water wars". See, in order to solve this, Georgia wants to shut off or slow down the flow of water to Alabama and Florida which originates from Georgia.

The same will happen eventually when those who live in L.A. where they are already arguing over who gets it and who does not.
