Isn't the Colorado River water fully utilized?  I don't think
that water is dumped into the briny deep anymore.
The problem is that we think of water as free.  If fresh water
had a price tag associated with it, we might move to stop
the waste.  Likewise with sunlight: practically unlimited
wealth, being spilled upon the ground.  spike
