Concern over fresh water supply is becoming increasingly common in our nation due to pressures from drought and population growth. Our coastal states are frequently evaluating the viability of desalination systems to provide their fresh water needs. Desalination is an energy intensive process, so it is quite common for these facilities to be built in close proximity to electric power plants. For this reason, it is also reasonable to consider the use of nuclear desalination as a potential option.

In an odd way, I suppose Ted Kennedy's opposition to offshore windfarms in this region is a step in the right direction. But I still can't picture him ever supporting the most sensible infrastructure for the Northeast Corridor: Nuclear power, desalination and electricly powered mass transit such as high-speed rail and Maglev.

Willie,
For some reason you felt impelled to post this article but forgot to tell us where in the hell is Braintree?

Unbelievable.....RO is great for potable water, but ludicrous for just desalinating everything that will end up being used for irrigation and washing your cars....
