Get a sense of perspective man, the magic water pixies in the taps will
make sure there's enough water - what's more important is the oil - we
need to be able to keep driving our kids the mile to school in our SUV's
don't we?!

Its not as daft as it sounds. I have heard that future conflicts could be
over water supplies. Water will always be essential to life.
As for oil, technology will result in alternative sources of energy.
Remember that classic quote from ex Opec leader Sheikh Yamani who said, "the
stone age did not end beacuse there was a shortage of stones". Well then,
the oil age will not end due to a shortage of oil. Interesting point that
one:-).
