Opponents say it's not the profit they object to but the precedent Webster's plan would set. The Great Lakes basin contains 18% of the world's freshwater, though that doesn't necessarily mean there is water to spare. In a 1999 report, the U.S.-Canada International Joint Commission warned that levels in lakes Michigan and Huron had dropped 22 in. from the previous year--"the most precipitous drop in recorded history," says the IJC's Frank Bevacqua--and last year the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted that levels would fall an additional...
...political debate is, in an important way, beside the point, for the myth transcends ideology.
