"Water is the new oil" - Maine's Liquid Abundance

Alex: I've long believe that quote referenced in the title.

Everybody talks about Maine's quality of place as a top asset, but I personally believe that not enough - not even close to nearly enough - has been done in regard to the relationship of Maine's natural resources, sustainable economic growth and development and prosperity, and the maintenance while going forward into that 21st century economy of Maine's traditional values.

Think about the worldwide economic and geopolitical ramifications of oil, and then realize that oil is not a necessary primary condition for basic life as water is, and then ask yourself which is truly more valuable as a resource.

We cannot be penny wise and multi-millions (at a minimum!) foolish!!!!!
