Water is essential to the development of RENEWABLE FUELS that derive from crops or Hydrogen generated from water. Want renewable fuels in large scale? Lets talk getting more ~WATER~! Let’s not forget those that may be running short on water supplies by natural shortages! Energy Security has a direct bearing on national security, our nation is dependent on imported oil to meet our transportation sector's needs for energy. Since we are dependent on foreign oil we have to protect interests of oil which dictates our foreign policy in regards to specific areas of the world. Ending energy dependency and establishing energy independence is an important issue relating to national security and releasing this nation from being uncontrollably forced to maintain policy to protect foreign oil interests. Water issues in this nation that may develop water shortages are also a concern in national security. If the water supplies in this nation or area of this nation can not support the population's usage, strife can develop or a need to shift population to areas that can sustain the water needs. This can pose potential problems for some major areas of this nation in the exodus of populations, and subject other areas of the nation to problems absorbing those displaced people. We are well aware of these problems from the events of Hurricane Katrina and the inhabitability of New Orleans in the wake of that hurricane. Can we learn from one disaster, even though it is not the same type of disaster, to help avoid other potential disasters? Fully developing this nation’s water infrastructure to work in conjunction with one another in a manner that supports the stability of each areas water resources would enable great benefits to this nation. Keeping our water infrastructure separate is about like keeping the roads separate. Developing a national water network to ensure water resource sustainability in all areas of this nation would be as beneficial as the development of the Interstate Highway System was for the transfer of goods and equipment across this nation and the economic prosperity that is achieved from the use of that system. One nation, one people, divided in its water resource sustainability? Should that not be, One nation, one people, united in its water resource sustainability! After all, this is the United States of America, you know where “United We Stand” because divided we may fall!
