We’ll just have to agree to disagree. With global warming and sea level rise, we not only have virtually limitless supply of water, but it’s also growing. With the technology we have today, we could solve this problem if we want to. Not everyone wants to, which is fine. But to say we’ll run out of water while staring out into the ocean boggles my mind. This is not 1800s. We have all the technology and tools we need to solve this problem…
We don’t need to do w/ less, and I don’t want to do with less, especially when we/I don’t have to.[/quote]
This is probably true.
And I think nuclear energy will be part of our future for a lot longer than people want to believe. Not the massive facilities we all think of, but small reactors that will be located around the world. This is part of what will power desal plants and I’m pretty sure desal will be a bigger and bigger part of our future. It will also power the plethora of EVs we are about to produce.
I know environmentalists think solar and wind will give us what we need, but somehow I doubt that.
We don’t live in a perfect world and the solutions we find won’t be perfect either.[/quote]
100% agree, nuclear is the power source that can give us what we need to go full desalination and EV. We can and should add solar and wind to the mix too.
