"Today I stand on the shores of Lake Superior and I see a naive
innocent, a voluptuous bounty on the verge of violation. I see millions of angry, parched people from far-flung venues who view 'undeveloped water' as a wasted opportunity. I see dryland farmers clamoring with sharp spigots, claiming they can't feed the world without more irrigation. I see thousands of
massive supertankers lining up on behalf of millions of thirsty Asians. . . . I see wasteful water practices throughout the Great Lakes that historians will look back upon with scorn. I see water . . . that most see the value in taking, and few see the value in leaving. I see millions upon millions of Great Lakes residents who underestimate the struggle that awaits them.
"On the shores of Lake Superior, I don't see a lake. I see a sprawling deep blue battleground that stretches from Duluth, Minnesota, to Trois Rivieres, Quebec -- and I wonder, who will win the war?"
