<div>I wasn't saying the cost of the water was a minor point. It is the point. I was saying that my definition of "market price" vs Andreas definition was a minor point.<br><br> </div>

<div><br> </div>Andreas-It looks like we differ on the definition of "market price." I say that market price is when I pay the same as everyone else. That is not to say the market price everyone is paying isn't being subsidized by another party. Oh well, it is really a minor point to the overall discussion.<br>
