How we will survive??? How we will get drinking water?

[Old Rocks]

Don't worry "Global warming" turn the ice caps back to water.
The problem isn't too little water; it's too many people living in places where there isn't enough. Most of the world is doing just fine thank you.

Ya, like CALIFORNIA

Ca. is simply trying to pack too many people in too small a space but even at that water should not be a problem. After all they DO have a whole friggen Pacific Ocean right there and distilling water is no big deal.

OK, desalinating water is no big deal. How much do you want to pay for it? That looks to be a very big deal to most people. And then, apart from drinking water, there is agriculture.

Statisticians are coming up with some very scary numbers for the near future.

And the most important part they point out is, how we will get drinking water?

This is the utmost important question for the survival of the human race, because, well, we are literally WATER.

If no WATER, no HUMAN... Its that simple.

And look at these number



This is scary, innit?




But think again...
Drinking Water Starts Flowing From Carlsbad Desalination Plant




We will survive how we survived by all these hundreds of thousands of years.......... by INVENTING.........

leftist are against desalination, they would rather people suffer.

yaknow the drought in CA? Well part of that is b/c they have laws against desal

The biggest challenge of desalination in CA was the Surfing Federation as far as I know.

It did take 15 years for the scientists to convince surfers that the remaining salty water would not effect the marine life and the quality of the water when pumped back to the ocean. Only then, they were allowed to build this plant, which was completed in only 1 year.

Right on time seems like

15 years to convince people that what they assumed was true, was in fact, complete bullshit.

so in another 150 years we can start building nuclear power plants, maybe.

Unless they are fusion, why? Very expensive power with a huge drawback in the wastes produced. Solar, wind, and geothermal, with grid storage, can produce all the power we need. At a far better price, with no poisons that last for hundreds of thousands of years.

So you think the issue is expense rather than survival? People who are worried about water shouldn't live in a desert. And how much water do "celebs" and others waste on keeping lawns green and swimming pools filled. If the high tech. folks turned their attention to the problem I doubt it would be all that expensive to desalinate what is needed. If they can pipe oil from Alaska don't you think they could pipe (melted ice/snow if necessary) water? Frankly I'm tired of hearing them whine instead of doing anything.

All of that is a lie, every word.

except for waste, but that's easily delt with

That is where the whole issue comes down to; ENERGY.

As long as we can produce energy in a renewable way, seems like we can survive any conditions on this planet, unless of course the sun didnt blow up or a giant meteor didnt hit the earth.

So energy, and more importantly, how we generate it, is the biggest of all questions with a big price tag on it...

And, considering that the Keystone XL pipeline would be routed over the top of the largest aquifer in the United States, if that pipe leaked, it would kill the aquifer, which provides drinking water and crop water for the middle part of the country.

Yes, we DO need to look at how we get our energy. Solar and wind get my vote.

Piping water over mountains takes immense energy. Hence it's not done. And building a tunnel through all of the mountains isn't possible.

Frankly I'm tired of hearing them whine instead of doing anything.

I'm tired about hearing people with no engineering sense demand others work magic.
