Most of us know very little about water. It comes in two types, salt and fresh. It has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom and is written H2O. In the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake, you can float. A random collection of facts—like knowing a dozen Latin tags—is usual, even for many in science or medicine. For most Americans, access to water is a given. Like the right to vote, it seems a birthright. And when you turn on a tap, do you ask whether you can drink the water that comes out? Probably not.
I want to suggest you consider expanding your world view. And that you follow the rapidly evolving water story, because whether you do so or not, water is about to change your life and will profoundly affect the lives of your children and grandchildren in ways both great and small. Water matters to our lives at every level, from the personal to the geopolitical. Its role in global warming, as well as its atomic structure and how it interacts with consciousness, all matter. Water has always driven destiny and is driving ours now. This is my first column on water. There will be others. I believe water will be a far bigger factor in our future than petroleum.
