We Might Poison Ourselves One Way Or Another

California, farmers rely on oil wastewater to weather the drought

"Once a year, the Cawelo Water District is required to send data about the salt and boron content to the Central Valley Water Board, according to Clay Rodgers, the board’s assistant executive officer. But the district isn’t obligated to test for other components, like heavy metals, arsenic, radioactive materials and chemicals that might be used in the drilling process."

My Comments About The Article AboveAs if genetically modified food weren't of concern enough now we have to worry about this. Be it far that I'm an expert but it seems to me this a very bad idea. Here we are talking about building oil & gas lines all over the country. Yet no one seems to even discuss the need to build water pipelines for a far more desperate reason.. WATER. Hell, even the Romans figured out they had a need to build aqueducts.

Have we become so greedy for oil and gas nothing else matters?

Have we become so intellectually challenged that we can't grasp the concept we need water a lot more then oil & gas to sustain ourselves?

I fear the answer may be yes to both !
