We believe that maintaining available water resources to protect the environment, and for human use, presents as big a problem as climate change. We also believe that the headlong rush into alternative energy sources, has the potential to create a more disastrous outcome than is projected to result from climate change. We need a much more nuanced approach to mediating the discrete but associated threats of climate change and depletion of viable water resources.

We have concluded that the environmental impact of increased mining activity, necessary to supply and maintain alternative energy infrastructure will increase demands on water resources and result in further loss of agricultural land, reducing our capacity to produce food in a situation in which soil itself is becoming more and more depleted. There is also the, as yet unresolved, problem of recycling the extensive waste created from alternative energy infrastructure.

Our blog will reflect this viewpoint. We welcome your feedback and comments on the content of our blog and we do not expect you to agree with us. However, we do expect civil discussion and any abusive comments will be immediately deleted.
