>>"I just hope that 430 Americans will all have enough clean water to drink, enough food to eat, and enough energy to keep everything powered up." Keep hoping; ain't gonna happen.<< Well, exactly. I don't know what Brooks is thinking. Now if our political leaders could get off the dime and act like grownups, putting a real renewable energy policy in place within the next couple of years, we might have a chance on that front. But water and food would probably still turn out to be scarce. Of course, we waste about 1/3 of our food here, and at least another 1/6 to 1/4 is probably consumed by people who could stand to be eating a lot less. But even if we solved that problem, there would still be the water shortages.
