A Convenient Blog

So this is my first blog. I feel trendy.

anyways, i read this article earlier today and i came up with a way to save the world, and it also occurred to me that news sites are trying to make things sound terrible because people wouldnt read it if it wasnt.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/electricvehiclescouldstrainwatersupplies

this article is all about how electric vehicles (supposedly part of the solution to global warming, at least according to celebrities that now teach me science during the oscars) might put a strain on water supplies... We are now concerned about running out of water on this "blue planet." good thing there is always enough oil to go around...

So as i read i thought of two ingenious ideas, that apparently did not occur to the author of the article.
1. The oceans. Last time i was in elementary school there were five. They have a pretty good deal of water.(there were also nine planets, but apparently pluto is too small, should the indian ocean be nervous?)
2. We can use all the water from the icebergs we are melting with our gas cars and keep the ocean levels down. EVERYONE wins. Not only do we get to drive water cars but we finally have something to do with all that new water we are creating.. Science will thank me one day.

anyways, i thought this whole situation is ironic. Does anyone else think its a really lame story? then again i bet more people on this earth who are scared of running out of water than people who will actually read this.....

i think Al Gore should establish a pipeline for melted glacier water to newly formed water stations that will take the place of gas stations. then it will not cost me 15$ to commute to work and back everyday in my sexy Yukon.
