Governor Moonbeam,
This Requires Your Attention NOW!!
SIncerely
M.M.
Great idea
But are they building high-speed rail??

Is the salt concentration lower in the Med than in the oceans? Does desal work better there or would it be about the same?
No, but if they did they’d probably make it work somehow and make a profit.
Go read the comments.
I still don´t understand why they don´t bring water from the Mediterrean Sea into the Dead Sea, I would think it would produce a lot of kilowatts of power as it flows into the Dead Sea, and it keeps evaporating, and could keep flowing. It would help with the rising sea levels. Maybe even pump some of the same water into Death Valley in California..
Okay, so that is $0.002196 per gallon. I don’t understand where the common refrain comes from that desalinization plants are not cost effective. Was repayment of the $500 million factored into the Israeli price? Even if not, over the life of the plant, I doubt the cost is prohibitive.
“Governor Moonbeam, This Requires Your Attention NOW!!”
They would have to double ir triple the price of their crops to pay the quoted price for this.
“Okay, so that is $0.002196 per gallon. I don’t understand where the common refrain comes from that desalinization plants are not cost effective.”
At the quoted price it would cost CA about $3,000 per acre to water their crops.
As far as I know, the Red Sea-Dead Sea canal/pipeline project is a definitely moving ahead.

Here is why it is prohibitive. Water is freedom. If people have clean water, they have an opportunity to create economies. Economies create wealth and innovation. Wealth and innovation create solutions to the worlds problems. Can’t have that in a utopian paradise.
Take all the money given to the UN each year and build desalination plants along the African coast and you eliminate global hunger and poverty. Unfortunately to the commies, that cannot happen. Building desalination plants removes any water from the ocean that would cause massive flooding as well as green large swaths of land which will eat CO2 and produce oxygen.
There is a freeper who shows up on these threads and always says that the leftover brine from desal plants is highly toxic — worse than radioactive waste. Putting it in the ocean, or the Dead Sea, or Death Valley would have devastating consequences.
I don’t know anything, so I can’t say he’s wrong. But I guess Israel thinks he is.
They’re arguing about it in the comments at the article.
Moonbeam doesn't have a brain. He is like the scarecrow in wizard of Oz. This ars is one step below King Obama and the King is a child like joker. Doesn't hold much hope for California and King Obama has already destroyed America and its allies.
There go them Jews again ...
Dumb Israelis. The money they wasted on that desalination plant could have been used instead to build a high-speed rail from somewhere to somewhere else.
