Anybody who can figure out how to desalinate sea water and distribute it to parched areas in a profitable manner will be the next Bill Gates.
...who can do that without having "environmentalists" and "global-warming" believers picketing and pushing through legislation prohibiting it because, e.g., the endangered "Yellow-Bellied Brine Shrimp" might be adversely affected by it.
Regards,
I recently spoke with a couple from Aruba. They told me that their entire island gets its water from the practice of desalinization. Why haven’t they been planning to go this route in California? (Seems I remember reading somewhere that, in recent times, the environmentalist folks have been shutting down all sorts of water sources feeding in to California)
I could do it - but govt won’t let me due to regulatory requirements. The tech is there.
