Water is too essential to all life on Earth to waste even 1 drop of it on gas or oil
Getting Off Oil, Latest news, World news Friday, December 30th, 2011You and everyone else in the World needs fresh water to live. Water is essential for sustaining all life on Earth. Gas and oil are not. Fresh water is in very limited supply. We can’t afford to use even 1 drop of it on gas and oil exploration, fracturing, pumping or refining. When the streams, rivers and lakes go dry man, animal and plant life will die.
The decision as to whether or not we allow our governments to give away Earth’s essential life giving and life sustaining limited supply of water to greedy, selfish and corrupt gas and oil companies is simple. The answer is and will always be NO. Not a drop of it.
Use the very limited supply of fresh water for gas and oil and you, your family, your neighbours, your friends, co-workers, pets, livestock, crops, flowers, grass, tress, fish, deer, moose, bears and all other plant and wildlife will die.
Even if there was no more gas or oil left on Earth, man, animal and plant would live on – so long as there is still fresh water to drink.
One 8 oz glass of fresh drinking water is enough to keep you alive for hours or even days. How far will you get on one 8 oz of gas or oil? Will that gas or oil keep you alive after the streams, rivers and lakes have been drained dry?
Our governments spends $billions each year on space exploration. Why are they spending so much money? What is the purpose of these space missions? To find planets with water. They aren’t looking for oil or gas on Mars, they are looking for water. Water is so precious and in such limited supply today that we are now forced to look off World for it.
If we allow the gas and oil companies to use any of Earth’s limited supply of fresh water we (those of us who haven’t already died because of lack of fresh water) will one day be forced to abandon Earth and make the long and very dangerous journey to another in search of what we need to survive as a human race – water.
We are not ready to make that journey now or for another 100 years. We do not have the technology to build the massive Arks that we will need to take us to a new home. We do not have the technology to survive the journey. We would have to take enough fresh water and oxygen for each crew member to survive the journey. So today and every day until such time as we do possess the technology to make the journey to a new home World we must protect, at all costs, what little water we have now.
No amount of gas or oil is worth destroying all life on Earth. No amount of gas or oil is worth making man and all animal and plant life extinct. Water is essential to our existence. As it is essential and finite water is priceless. So the next time a politician (who has been undoubtedly bribed by the gas and oil companies) tells you that if you agree to give up this life sustaining supply of fresh water you’ll have access to cheap gas and oil, you’ll know they’re lying. Priceless means it is so valuable you can’t put a price on it. Water is so valuable we can’t afford to use 1 drop of it for gas or oil exploration, fracturing, pumping or refining. If we do, life on Earth will quickly cease to exist.
Ever wonder what Earth would look like with no water? Just look up at the Moon and you’ll have your answer. The Moon is a constant reminder of what will happen if we use up the priceless, precious, and limited supply of fresh water. The Moon is grey because it is dead. Why do you think we never went back to the Moon. A dead Moon has no value. If there was water on the Moon we’d already be inhabiting it. Because there is no water it isn’t worth spending any amount of money on going back to it. That is why we have been focusing on Mars. That is why we are now sending more probes to Mars. Mars has water and therefore is of great value to mankind. The distance to Mars makes it even more valuable.
No water on Earth will also mean no oxygen. No oxygen means no atmosphere. No atmosphere means a dead planet that looks exactly like the Moon.
For those of you who just don’t give a damn because this will probably not affect them in their lifetime, you couldn’t be more wrong. The same day 1 gas or oil company starts drilling a chain reaction starts. Within weeks of drilling streams, rivers and lakes will start to dry up. Those streams, rivers and lakes feed the underground water table and once the surface water dries up wells will quickly dry up too. Even before that happens the dried up streams, rivers and lakes will immediately impact all wildlife in their vicinity. They will be the first to die off, in great numbers.
Without streams, rivers and lakes farming will cease as there will be no water to feed livestock or irrigate crops. Farmers and country folks will be forced to abandon their properties because there is no well water to drink, cook or wash with. Surrounding villages and towns will also be forced into being abandoned as water no longer flows through them.
Once farmers are forced out of the business of growing our food, the food supply will be drastically reduced. We all know what food shortages means. Skyrocketing food prices. And that will affect the cost of living for everyone on Earth. So you see, no water means no food and no food or water means you and everyone else (including those who don’t give a damn) die.
