Well put, Nick. My late wife of nearly 53 years and I watched as hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land in the Rio Grande valley in addition to our modest 4 1/4 acres (that I farmed evenings and weekends while working at making better atomic bombs and getting into space) paved over or used for housing and shopping malls, while millions of acres of land where a hundred acres will only support a few cattle, birds, jack rabbits, and rattlesnakes went untouched except for the most part as a dumping ground. The irrigation water demand is about half that of municipal-industrial.
There went another Carbon Neutral CO2 sink.
