This is all going to take care of itself, sooner than we know it. Peak Oil is a big problem, if I’m understanding what I’ve been reading the last few days oil production hit its peak sometime between 1977 and 1984; estimates of when we’ll run out vary anywhere from 2 to 20 years from now. Once the oil goes the electricity goes, and once the electricity goes the water goes for most people (most water delivery systems are run on electricity if I remember right). I’ve seen it referred to as a “post industrial stone age”. We’d all better practice emergency preparedness plans and 19th century life skills. We’re going to need them all too soon.

How come Sam Picken’s projects all seem ot increase the costs of the resources, he uses for profit. Natural gas for transprotation to replace oil! Water now! This man is a leach. He would steal the money from a homeless person. His schemes are all get rich quick at the expense of the population. Oil is more plentiful than natural gas. How long do you think it will last if we all used it in our cars? As for water, that is insanity. People had better start thinking, instead of looking for the easy buck.

Hi Paul – Your comment was in the spam bin, sorry it took a few days for me to find it. Your blog is quite interesting and provides a great example of how communication with potential and existing clients can be accomplished with a WordPress blog. And you are using the Thesis theme, a smart choice and the one I now use on all sites. And your company looks like it would be a great place to work. If I was in the job market and near New Milford, I’d be ringing you up!

If you are following this thread, I would be interested in your expertise on a couple of posts I did on harvesting rain runoff. Many believe that it is one part of a water supply solution, others feel strongly that anything that keeps runoff from returning naturally to the watershed is wrong.

This is why it is more important than ever to promote the recharge of stormwater when possible. There are so many simple steps that can be performed as part of a good site design that can assist with the long term health and well being of our aquifers.

I live in southern California and water is a HUGE issue here. One humorous aspect of it occurred recently. Our water agency instituted mandatory water restrictions claiming low water supplies had resulted in emergency drought conditions. Well, many people did cut back their water usage. Some to the point of just letting their lawns and landscaping die. The poor economy also reduced water consumption.

The water agency then discovered that at that low rate of water usage they would not make a profit and may, in fact, lose money. Suddenly the drought was over and they were making statements to the effect that they didn’t think the public should “over-react” and reduce water usage too much and that lawns shouldn’t be allowed to die. Hilarious.
