Isn't the Colorado River water fully utilized? I don't think
that water is dumped into the briny deep anymore.
The problem is that we think of water as free. If fresh water
had a price tag associated with it, we might move to stop
the waste. Likewise with sunlight: practically unlimited
wealth, being spilled upon the ground. spike
