Using Up Our Natural Resources

At the rate we are burning up oil there is comming A time when we run out of oil. It may not be in ten or even 29 years but some time in the future we are going to run out so it is very important that we work on increasing the use of renewable fuels.There is ethenal ,biodiesal, the wind, the sun and something that we have not made much if any use of ,and that is the oceon tides.There are places where the tides are as high as fifty feet .I think there is A tremendous potential for creating electrical power by taking proper advantage of the tides. These are soursses of clean power that will not pollut the air that we have o breath. Another thing that concerns me is our artesian basin water supply. We have one deep well that has been A life saver for us. We have approximatly twenty miles of pipe hooked to it and it supplies water to four ranches at its own power so their is no power cost to us.We conserve the water by restricting the outlets so no water goes to waste. I know there are some deep wells that are left to flow freely thereby wasting million gallons of water. I am concerned that if these free flowing wells are not restricted we will eventualy run out of power and then out of water.We could sure use some regulation as to how this water is used so it isnt going to waste.
