We already have the states along the River Jordan squabbling over its water, but apparently there are many more examples. Even the Welsh moan about the English taking "their" water!English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-19631524134918265512011-11-22T16:28:38.727-08:002011-11-22T16:28:38.727-08:00Water's the next CO2 WfW - big time.

We used to have water rates, a fixed charge for supplying water because the actual water wasn't worth measuring. Now we are getting meters which charge useage - eventually, when everyone has combi boilers so no storage tanks in the attic, these will become smart meters, the tools of rationing.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-57168349177141873972011-11-22T12:52:25.909-08:002011-11-22T12:52:25.909-08:00It all become clear now -- I couldn't work out...It all become clear now -- I couldn't work out why the man in my bathroom had a stopwatch and clipboard.Xopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387364739989208360noreply@blogger.com
