    Why do you think Nestle Blind Torture Kills every fresh water source it has its hands on? Desalination is incredibly hard. That is one of the current anchors we as humans just can’t seem to lift up yet. I wish we could utilize the salt water…but there is a reason the saying goes “water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink” it applies to immediate and long term difficulties with the Oceans waters

      It’s not that hard.

      It isn’t profitable. And so nestle won’t do it until it is.

      Here is the rationale:

      a) factories create wealth

      b) [in order to create wealth] factories create jobs

      c) jobs return taxes

      d) taxes return money

      e) money can be returned to factories to hold it in place

      For water extraction, we only need to add a line where we state water is replenishable, another stating that is easy and cheap to extract and a third where we expand on how water is a good in constant demand, thus, easily marketable.

      Desalination is not a question of “if” it should be established but a “when” one.
