Ukraine Funding Could Have Paid for Dozens of State of Art, Huge Water Desalinization Plants

Does anyone live near one of these and taken a tour? Is it cool?

Water is now the problem, very serious considering you need it to grow food. It shouldn't be looked at as the sole solution, but part of a mix of conservation and management. It cost about twice per gallon than what we do now, and uses energy, but that is where technology is evolving.



"..desalination is coming into play in many places around the world. Several factors are converging to bring new plants on line. Population has boomed in many water-stressed places, including parts of China, India, South Africa, and the United States, especially in Arizona and California. In addition, drought—some of it driven by a changing climate—is occurring in many regions that not that long ago thought their supplies were ample.

San Diego is one of those places. With just 12 inches of rain a year in the Mediterranean climate of Southern California and no groundwater, the region gets half of its water from the distant Colorado River. The amount of snow that falls in the Rocky Mountains and keeps that mighty river flowing, however, has greatly diminished over the last two decades, and according to some researchers may be part of a permanent aridification of the West. Climate change is a very real phenomenon for water managers throughout the Southwest and elsewhere."
There was going to be a desalination plant in San Diego but governor hair gel killed the project.

They are not interested in solutions. Only foreign aid money laundering.
