Yes, and I bet somewhere down in the bowels of his tiny mind he’s thinking about some needed government regulations that will make utility water become a thing of the past so that his bottled water franchise can charge all the more for its ‘water’.

My thought too.....I’m guessing in their beady little minds nefarious mad scientists are splitting water molecules into their constituents on an astronomical scale.

“How does one destroy water?”

Electrolytic decomposition to hydrogen and oxygen.

I don’t think it’s a human right to fill ships with Great Lakes H2O and ship to China in order to make a profit!

The province of Ontario is the Saudi Arabia of freshwater. About 1/3 of the world’s freshwater is there. There are 250,000 lakes and 60,000 miles of rivers. They should rename it Freshwater R Us.

In the 1950s, in Miami, often above urinals and toilets would be a sign” Flush 2-3 times, the Keys need the water”.

I live in a region surrounded by fully 20% of the world's fresh water in a country with a million fresh water lakes.

I'm not too worried.

Now that “peak oil” was proven to be totally false and “climate change” is on the same path to be proven totally false, the liberals are off to their next crusade “water is human right”.

Jonathan Gruber will detail the economics of water credits for corporations that use water for unnecessary purposes.

“I don’t think it’s a human right to fill up a swimming pool. I don’t think it’s a human right to wash cars. I don’t think it’s a human right to water a golf course”

and after his impassioned speech, Peter and his audience all returned to their 5 star hotels (with pools and golf courses) riding in shiny newly washed limos, well stocked with bottled sparkly water

The Nestle guy is an idiot.

The Israelis have solved this problem with osmosis based desalination.

Here is the simple solution: Copy the Israeli success (for instance, in California) and there will be abundant water available for everyone.

"The world will run out of fresh water long before it runs out of oil, with the potential for major deficits by 2030..."

They just make it up as they go along.

“Water is a human right. I fully agree with that,” Brabeck-Letmathe said,


When people make statements like this I get the urge to wrap a baseball bat in the constitution and beat them with it.
