Exactly. And knee-jerk, feel-good laws that end up hurting the environment more than the process they are regulating continues to run rampant.
I wish I could remember the name of the magazine, but I recently read a very well done article by a guy that has a Phd in Physics. He calculated the carbon footprint from ore to disposal of a Kenworth semi and a Prius. Being as how I'm bringing this up, you can guess the result. Yup, the Prius (mostly due to the manufacturing and recycling of the batteries over it's life) was more damaging to the environment from cradle to grave than a semi. But all the "Greenies" in their blissful ignorance keep snappin' them up, then give me a glare as I fill up my Hemi at the gas station. I just shake my head, knowing that I'm "greener" than them.
I'd be willing to place money on the same thing happening with this water reclamation crap. All the fossil fuels being wasted to pump and transport... boggles the mind, really.
