    It… doesn’t look that bad. Electricity use is sizable. Water which usually gets all this screaming is, well, look up how much a golf course or a large hotel uses.

      Concern about water use is the distraction they caused in the media so we'd too busy thinking about fake issues to think about the real issues.

        Excess water use is actively harming people right now.
