Much of India's water supply already has arsenic due to mining and natural sources. Hope we get fusion quickly enough to start desalinating on a large scale.


I'm pretty sure that Israel desalinates on a large scale. Maybe not as large as you are talking about, though? Also, apparently, Israelis are lying terrorists, so there is that.

Detroit still doesn't have potable water but you don't really hear about it anymore. I wonder why that is.

I'm now getting emails from Bernie Sanders' crew about forming a resistance. The parallels to the late-30's/early-40's are pretty scary.

This was the actual tweet:

"Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!"

Yes, Israel does desalinate, as do a few other countries. It's expensive and takes a lot of energy, so it's not really an option for many places given current energy sources. Israel is still short on water though as they share water with Jordan. Palestinians suffer badly from lack of water, which is I suppose is not surprising since they are treated as subhumans and all that.

The only way desalination becomes possible on a global scale is if we can find an energy source that's cheap and reliable AND countries can find the money to build the plants.

This morning I learned the real election problem was Donna Brazile gave Clinton a primary question and she needs to be punished for it. Also, you won't believe what Donald has found out about the Russian hacking and he's going to let everyone know about it next week.

You know, if he wanted to, he could just completely make up major stuff. I know he's done that throughout this whole thing, but he could make up much worse stuff and actually control much of the pushback. I really think we're fucked if he goes full rogue.

Yes he's going to make stuff up. It's how he gained political followers.

I mean he could REALLY make stuff up. Like Russia invades the rest of the Ukraine and Trump says there was credible evidence that Ukraine had a rogue nuke and planned to use it in Moscow. Maybe not that example, but you get what I'm saying.

where's his limit? Does he even have one?

You can count on Trump continuing to make things up. The only bounds are his imagination and what's politically, financially and personally expedient for him. The surprise would be if he didn't continue to do so.

I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that Putin is disgusted with how fat Trump is.

He'll probably forgive his fatness when Trump hands him our nuclear codes and strategic information.
