Show Notes

Peter L. Nelson, P.E., brings a novel approach to water and water rights. Peter teamed up with Professor Walter Block to write Water Capitalism: The Case for Privatizing Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, and Aquifers. Peter and I spent nearly 40 minutes discussing privatization, and we barely scratched the surface of the subject!

Reese Tisdale discusses the implications on industrial water users and water utilities of the announced withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord in our Bluefield on Tap segment.
