Mr X and I watched a fascinating program on the solar system last night- or he watched it, as I was making up goody bags for my daughter's birthday party. But I remember how fascinating the moons of Jupiter were and how INHOSPITABLE. How stupid we are to even run the risk of fouling our nest when we are nowhere near any other hospitable place to live. This is it, as far as we know. We can dream that we could find the technology to be able to live elsewhere- but if we can't even manage to live on a hospitable planet without blowing it, our chances of living anywhere else look pretty slim to me. But then I am a realist without an imaginary friend.

Hi Karen Oil rich countries have cheap, and abundant supplies of energy which can easily be used to produce water. "Water and air are the two most basic of human needs Well, so is heat, if you don't think so come up to Canada in January. It is just the way things work, that we take what we have in abundance, and trade it for those things we need or want. Here in Canada, we know it's just a matter of time until the US will want our water. It's a big controversy here, but one that will not go away. Maybe we can swing a trade for some oranges? Greg
