Obama to send US water supplies to Kenya

"Water is the Next Oil" ---T Boone Pickens 49 Million Americans have dirty drinking water because of immigration http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columns/TimothyCarney/T_Boone_Picke... Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens is about to make a killing by selling water he doesnt own. As he does it, it will be praised as a planet-friendly wind project. After he pulls it off, the media will deride it as craven capitalism. In truth, it is one the most audacious examples of politics for profit, showing how big government helps the biggest business steal from the rest of us. The plotline behind Pickens water-and-wind scheme is almost too rich to believe. If it were a movie script, reviewers would dismiss it as over-the-top. The basic story amounts to this: Pickens, thanks to favors from state lawmakers whose campaigns he funded, has created a new government whose only voters are two of his employers; this has empowered Pickens to more cheaply pump water from an aquifer and, by use of eminent domain, seize land across 11 counties in order to pipe the water to Dallas. To win environmentalist approval of this hardly sustainable practice, he has piggybacked this water project onto a windmill project pitched as an alternative to oil.

Drought is certainly NOTHING NEW.

Just look at the desserts.

Are industrialized nations to blame ??

NO!

Excerpts from website I found:

1) United States have identified droughts occurring as early as 1220. 2) began in 1276 and lasted 38 years. 3) drought in northern China in 1876 dried up crops

4) monsoon winds in India, did not come during two droughts in 1769 and 1865. An estimated 10 million people died in each of those droughts.
