> Really needs a large source of green energy to power Sans a more environmentally friendly "green energy" source, I wonder if anyone has done the math to determine whether constructing and dedicating a significant portion of the energy resources generated by a nearby nuclear plant would make the conversion process more economical through large scale volume. Again, I wonder what the cost per gallon'o'water is likely to be. With demand for fresh water constantly increasing... at some point water extracted via desalinization is likely to become a more palpable economical & political choice for large portions of the planet's population centers. I would imagine the number crunchers have already have done the math, and that is why they are building the plants regardless of what energy source is used. It's inevitable that the price of fresh water will go up. It's becoming the most valuable commodity on the planet. They would be fools not to build desalinization plants. As always, there's money to be made. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson svjart.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/newvortex/
