Funny, real science and engineering catching up to a Sci-Fi prediction from 1967:

The Wintergreen Membrane
Inventor: Harrison Wintergreen

Carcinoma Angels

I read this when I was in 10th grade back in 1976.

Well actually the USA invented reverse osmosis in the 50 and refined it in the 60’s and 70’s. For three decades the USA spent 100 million dollars annually in membrane R&D and then abandoned the field. So the technology went overseas much like nuclear.

The guys who were writing then were just following the implications of the research.

The greatest generation went blind and lost their nerve in the late 60’s. They actually understood what came next but the culture changed out from under them so they lost their technological vision of the future.

That technological vision is coming back.

Gates has got a company working on 4th generation nuclear reactors. imho he knows what he’s talking about.

I’m sure he does. I’m sure he’s sure about everything about our lives and deaths. He can keep his New World Order self to himself.

Well, yeah there’s that too.

But I prefer Gates spending his money on 4 generation nukes that will kill the cost of electricity over soros spending his money to kill the USA and bring on world government.
