[QUOTE="Allen, post: 345535, member: 389"] The guy is not very well connected with reality. Desalination is a great tool in the providing of fresh water to people, but last time I checked Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming are too damn far from an ocean to provide drinking water. What is one going to do, pump water from the ocean over to Las Vegas to have them run it through a desal plant? Not likely, what would they do with the brine? Either way you are pumping water, might as well do it with fresh water rather than do it with saltwater. I get it, people are peculiarly attached to water. IMHO, it is still just another resource and we've already proven we will do whatever we need to do to get resources to the people that need it...regardless of where they live. It's not like people in Nantucket or Connecticut go cold in the winter. [/QUOTE]
