Remember a few months ago when I suggested water shortages would be a problem and everyone pooh-poohed that idea? Well, it seems Atlanta Georgia is starting to have some real concerns about diminishing water supplies.
Since no one can control the weather, anyone have ideas on what can be done now and in the near future to either conserve or supplement water in this country? It isn't only Georgia that is seeing shortages: areas in the West with huge increases in population like Las Vegas are also facing water issues.
I don't know what the solution is, but using huge amounts of ground water to grow corn for energy and then more water to turn it into ethanol seems like a bad idea.
