VTmotoMike08 0 #3 June 19, 2009 I would hoard it for about 50 years until the large aquifers in the Midwest are depleted due to today's unsustainable farming practices and withdraw rates that exceed the natural recharge rates. Then I would sell it to them at a ridiculuous rate and make a boat load of cash. If people were willing to pay $4/ gal of gas last summer, think what they will be wiling to pay when water is scarce!

Since your supply of water is infinite (read:free) you'd be better off starting a bottled water company which you can sell cheaper than anyone else while using your profits to research, invent, and patent a biodegradable plastic for your bottled water company. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
