They looked far ahead at the water supply, and decided Arizona was going to be in trouble. So they chose to move to Maine.
They're very happy they did.

We also feel fortunate to have a liberal governor and a legislature that's attuned to environmental issues. Yes, we're worried about the rising temperatures off our coastline, but in terms of climate change, we seem to be better positioned to survive in the long run.
