Shopping List, Distillation of Sea Water

Kulas?

Or, is it Legoals?

Or, spam bot?

Maybe just illiterate drivel.

Wow! Are you really interested in talking about new technology?

Recovering consumable water from seawater is a well established technology. Why are you focused on that?

The yuppie movement "died" years ago.

How old are you?

" According to the International Desalination Association, in June 2011, 15,988 desalination plants operated worldwide, producing 66.5 million cubic meters per day, providing water for 300 million people.^[5] This number has been updated to 78.4 million cubic meters by 2013,^[4] or 57% greater than just 5 years prior. The single largest desalination project is Ras Al-Khair in Saudi Arabia, which produced 1,025,000 cubic meters per day in 2014,^[4] although this plant in Saudi Arabia is expected to be surpassed by a desal plant in California.^[6]The largest percent of desalinated water used in any country is in Israel, which produces 40% of its domestic water use from seawater desalination.^[7]"

Somebody just got their RX filled!

I am a little bit slow. Our caretaker for my wife (and me too?) removed the paper off the magnetic square and viola(sp?) I can now pin up our shopping list.

But there is still hope. I hope we get lots of rain the coming year. I like to swim in swimming holes on the South Fork of the Merced River up the road from Yosemite Valley. Fly fishing is also fun and challenging besides.

Back to getting fresh water: If we don't get rain this winter we are in deep trouble. There is the yuppy internet and all sorts of inteligent chemical engineers and chemists. Believe or not I got a chemistry degree from Stanford; Spent too much time with parties and having coffee with my beautiful wife. I had better shup. Just pray.

May (the nameless) Higher Power grant unto thee O California, a rich mixture of weather that will water thy gardens, pastures, fields, and forests, and asphalt jungles.

May you happily float down the river to the sea, and enjoy whatever the heck you are smoking along your way.

May you stay forever young.

There are plenty ways (as pointed out by others here) to desalinate seawater, and there are whole publications/websites devoted to nothing else: Desalinate! is one.

This is not really news, but all of the desalination methods require energy, some more than others. If people keep ruling out all forms of energy as bad, how far from the Stone Age are they, and if they have a buck-fifty in pocket change now, what will they pay for a drink of water when the shtf?
