Wait until the price of water out west gets as high as oil, I say.

Probably won't happen since 1 gallon of diesel fuel produces enough
power to desalinate about 80 gallons of water.


Still, that's expensive water when considering how much we use. I
recently heard a guy from Levi's state that one pair of 501s uses 975
gallons of water over it's life cycle. Of course, that means growing the
cotton to washing the jeans. Still, that's a hell of a lot of water.



You *wash* your jeans? Heresy! Heretic!
