But the aspect most worrying to me is the reckless draining of 
ancient aquifers that can't be refilled (not easily or inexpensively, 
anyway). Not unlike sucking out oil that won't be replenished so you 
can drive for half an hour to pick up a loaf of white bread. True, we 
can hope the kids develop some cool magic physics that will fix it up some day.
