WATER Can't live without it. At the rate we're polluting it, we may find out!
Over the last couple weeks more stories about water disasters have been
making headlines which makes us wonder if there isn't a conspiracy
brewing someplace, or a sinister government agency making a midnight
move -- (and sure enough there was).
We
have the mindset that there will always be water and that it's somebody
else's problem if there isn't. Boohoo California and your drought.
Water is everywhere, just ask Nestle. It's bottled and piled to the
ceiling in grocery stores, we turn on the tap and there it is, in some
places you can actually set it on fire, but that's another story. Don't
want to make the oil and gas guys nervous while partying with
politicians prepping the Arctic for the next major oil spill disaster.
And what's up with this Algae Bloom? How can a name like Algae Bloom be bad? And Fukushima? Isn't that old news? And what does it have to do with our water here?
Below
are a couple articles, actually four, that may get your attention and
set you straight about water. And not one of them mention fracking!! The
worst of them of all.

While
algal blooms are not uncommon in the Pacific, 2015’s blooms appear to

Radioactive
plutonium found at 10 MILLION times higher levels in water at Fukushima
plant as radioactive rivers flow into Pacific Ocean

March 2011, an earthquake launched a tsunami that left the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power plant in ruins on Japan’s Tohoku coast. No one
knows how much plutonium was released into the marine environment after
