| | What About Fresh Water, Now? | | Someone should try to explain to me why we havent been Desalinating ocean water since we learned the howabouts to do so? Yeah, I know we do indeed use desalination a good bit..but not enough. Fuck taking mad water from springs so that we fuck up ecosystems in vast sections of forest, fuck making "Smartwater" by combining two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom and using up a bitchload of energy to do so. and FUCK TAP WATER, I'm so sick of that metallic, chlorinized, fluoridized, shit that I need to replace filters for every six months.
Excuse any booted-ness. |

Excuse any booted-ness. | Up until recently desalination took entirely to much energy to use it economically.
The worlds largest desalination plants are in the UAE, and feature a new technology that translates to about .52 cents per cubic meter of water desalinated. |

| | But we could easily make that money back by selling the waste from it...salt.
Sea salt's better for you anyway. By a lot. |

| | tis too expensive ^^
But soon water will be becoming a more precious commidity, and they will start doing it more. but for now while they can get it from lakes, run off etc. theyll continue that, just think with the way the ice caps are melting we're getting more oceanic water all the time. they'll see.

| | I live in Central Fl.....We have Monstrous Springs under us and lucky for me I have a nice free well.
But yeah, you would think that selling sea salt would make it all worthwhile for investors and such.

| | It saddens me that a bunch of potheads know more about business than the ones in charge...but I guess the ones in charge are coke/meth heads, after all. |
