I also think Peter is the right person for the job of Water Advisor to the White House. His grasp of the often sophisticated science involved in water issues coupled with his mastery of data from around the globe puts him in a unique position. But just as importantly, Peter can access pop culture references and even humor to get his points across and explain the science in accessible language. If this nation is ever going to take water seriously – to really think each time we turn on that tap – someone with Peter’s unique skill set is a must. Oh … and Peter – I’ve won 10 journalism awards and 2 environmental awards and I would feel privileged to work with you.

The way to get this done is to find a senator or better yet, a coalition of them, as sponsors.

The water supply in some regions has been reduced due to environmental regulation. The thrust in many areas has been to curtail growth by restricting the water supply. What we need is a balance between the water suppliers and environmental regulators.

We don’t need more studies.

Well, even though Peter has thrown his hat in the ring, I think he’s doing a great job at PI. I am not so busy, so I nominate myself. I compared our platforms here.

Great suggestion, how do we make it happen?
I am not an Obama supporter, but I think Peter would be outstanding…help?
