Can anyone provide linkage to webpages that explain, in lay terms, how high-volume desalination works, at least pursuant to the currently-most-commonly-used technologies?

[Willie Green]

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.

Sounds good to me (and any rebuke to the California Coastal Commission is fine by me [too bad it still exist. >-(). Now, if we can just get more Nuclear Power Plants built...

My personal thoughts regarding the coastal commission are that there's nothing so seriously wrong with the group that some tall branches and short ropes wouldn't rememdy the situation.

Okay... just kidding. But on the serious side, California has too many commissions. Retire them. They cost us money and screw up everything within their circles of influence.

Well, fine. We'll build them in the high Sierras. What??? That will affect the albino mule deer habitat? Okay, we'll put them in the desert. What??? What do you mean the desert tortoises are endangered? Okay we'll put them... Oh never mind. I like drinking salty water and taking salty showers. Gives body to my hair.
