Very interesting. You seem pretty up to speed on this issue. Do you work in that field?
No I just wrote a blog on water issues for a number of years. I went to water conferences and such. I haven’t done much writing recently but its a slow changing field.
In any case the big stuff that will make all the difference is happening off court in R&D in 4th generation nuclear power plants and either carbon nanotubes or graphene membranes.
What is just a total slack jaw killer here is that the pubbies don’t get how this stuff is the real bread and butter issues of the day.
The US interest in ever cheaper more plentiful water and energy —plus an understanding of its strategic importance— died in the 1970’s. Its slowly reviving but its happening almost despite the government. The pubbies of course ever behind the curve, don’t understand that the USA is on the cusp of some seriously momentous stuff that they could seize on and run with.
