Zone1 Should the seawater to freshwater industry grow?

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You don't have a ******* clue what socialism is. Government control of the means of production.

And that is we are a social market democracy and not socialist.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

And that is we are a social market democracy and not socialist.

There is a demand for a product or services and the private sector competes to fill that demand. Capitalism. Other than a few regulations the Government has no control over that.

I know you wish with all your heart that the Government controlled everything, but socialism is a death cult that kills innovation.

Of course. It would be a public utility. An addition to a municipal water system.

Problem is it would become part of the water cycle and empty back into the ocean again needing re-salination. Probably the best way to do this is to dig massive divots in coastal deserts and let the ocean flow in creating a greater area of evaporative atmospheric water vapor supply.
You can't beat the Sun at its own game.

We have been in a democratic social market developing economy for more than a century.

It is not capitalism. Libertarianism is simply a myth.

Plastic rapidly ages in sunlight, so keeping the plastic parts above the dunes guarantees a rapid failure. And which plastic? "Plastic pipe" usually means PVC, but it is a carcinogen and endocrine disruptor.

The practical solution is prepare for a population shift to the regions that have excess freshwater.

then we'll have to go with something else than plastics, like glass or metal (although the latter might have problems too).
