This is laughable, but all too common a thought. “The market will save us!” “Don’t think, just keep building! LINE GO UP, LINE GO UP!”

As an Arizonan, I can already tell you shit will get *rough* here in the next 25 years. We’re gonna run out of groundwater just as we start having 200+ days a year where the temperature breaks 100° F.

Now could we be fine if we adopted a radical eco-scientific plan for conservation? Of course! Will we? Fuck no, that costs money!
