The water issue is a reality, the provincial government of Alberta recently and quietly passed into legislation powers allowing them to divert, sequester or dam waterways, aquifers and lakes without consultation. A theme that is taking shape worldwide.

Look forward to reading your upcoming work Ray.

Thanks, Ray. I just drove across the country from central California to eastern Michigan (taking a southern route then cutting into the heartland) then from Michigan back home (taking the northern route then moving south on the I-15). So, I have seen a lot of the western 2/3 of the countryside.

I have not seen any data centers (I saw lots of lawn signs saying "NO DATA CENTER"). But I have seen uncountable miles of corporate corn and soy fields, although this year, many of them lay fallow, so that was a new observation.

P.S. I know you pride yourself on your writing, so I just wanted to mention the interesting typo (I think!) in the first full paragraph, in the phrase "start over with a clean slave"!
