> The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data

As I read this I'm sipping clean, drinkable water.

Give it a decade or so. If you thought the wars over oil were bad, wait till you see the wars over water.

Why do you think water is going to run out in a decade?

70% of the planet is water. More water than all of landmass and biomass?

The Suns not going anywhere. If you figure out the oil problem with renewables then I'm pretty sure we can figure out the desalination problem too.

I would say once we humans figure out cheap distributed energy (solar/wind) a lot of things become easier.
