Drinking Ocean Water - The Largest Desalination Plant In North America
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 гру 2015
- California is so parched from the drought it's turning to the Pacific Ocean for drinking water. San Diego County just opened the largest desalination plant in North America to the tune of $1 billion. Environmentalists aren't thrilled.

Do the environmentalist have a better solution for the drought issue? They have limited options aside from idk vacating the entire state.

Stop being a dick and telling other what to do.

He doesn't even know what hes talking about.
Hes just talking out his ass.
Hey more meat and dairy for us,eh? lol
It also has no relation to the video or comment.
+Blue★ I'm sorry you don't have the intelligence to recognise that a shortage or water is largely related to animal agriculture given the following figures ...
Animal agriculture water consumption ranges from 34-76 trillion gallons annually.
Growing feed crops for livestock consumes 56% of water in the US. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce 1 pound of beef.
477 gallons of water are required to produce 1lb. of eggs; almost 900 gallons of water are needed for 1lb. of cheese. 1,000 gallons of water are required to produce 1 gallon of milk.
5% of water consumed in the US is by private homes. 55% of water consumed in the US is for animal agriculture.
Animal Agriculture is responsible for 20%-33% of all fresh water consumption in the world today.
***** cause it really doesn't have anything to do with my comment and as long as someone keeps responding he wont stop. So Gaging him is the only way for it to stop really.
+Blue★ Solar desalination plants...
or better yet pump the double salty water to a pond or something and let it evaporate. You make a little extra money with salt production on the side.
So what's the other options lady ??
+erik novy I know right. Shes quick to criticize but doesnt offer another alternative.
+erik novy stop eating animals, and their fluids. animal agriculture - the biggest waste of water by far.
Recycling the used water by treating it.
There's a lot at videos showing how ocean wave energy can be used to pump the water to/from/at the plants. And the water can be used for geo/thermal
California native and I've been saying we should do desalination on a large scale for decades. If we can get it cheaper, it'll be huge for many places that don't have clean drinking water and we'd also be drought-proof.
and also the fact that Southern California drains water from the Colorado River Basin as it is. . . They don't seem to understand they are threatening water resources for the entire South West by not being self sufficient.
Who's sucking water out of California without a permit? ua-cam.com/video/UoMqril0q-U/v-deo.html
there is weather warfare going on i don't agree with everything this site says but i agree with some THE HAARP REPORTS UA-cam videos.
Desalination is a waste of money! It's way too expensive. Why wouldn't the state invest more in efficiency???? It's really crazy!
+KW C. The city can afford the expensive water. And they are preparing for the worst. If this drought does not end and the reservoirs run dry they need a backup plan. A city can only slim down its water usage so much. Most water used is used by agriculture. It is also the industry least able to afford expensive water.
+KW C. desalination is an efficient clean environmenly friendly independent from the weather (man made drought) so eventually we wouldn't have water problems and the rain would be extra additional water the bies is that its a waste of money my results are that it is a major important investment for our bright futures waiting to happen.
+Ben Bahr they haven't slimmed down enough to even consider desalination . I'm not talking about Carlsbad specifically but the state has stopped a lot of their conservation programs recently. What's going on is a travesty. It's all about lining pockets and making the tax payers pay. Did you see what happened to the turf programs in Cali?
I wonder where she plans to get the water from like go do that to a oil plant or something she probably forgot about the drought and you need water to live
They could use a mountain and treat the water like a siphon and use gravity to feed and distill the water.
U can use solar energy,if the protest is of use of energy
We need a dozen of them feeding the Central Valley that feeds America
Desalination doesn't remove Fukushima radiation, so it is a good thing the NRC raised the allowable limits of radiation in drinking water.
i understand where you comr from but do we for sure KNOW. that for certain?
investigate weather control,modification, engineering the cause of California's drought.
why don't they produce salt from the water they sent back to the ocean??
It would be more effective way to cultivate salt

+nmouse2012 so fucking what? EVERYONE'S THIRSTY!
aaand the vegans are here to spread some more BS.
dafuk do you want them to do then?
If there was a better option I'm sure it would be done but Oceans have too much water and fresh water is limited all around the world. We have to stop using fresh water from lakes and rivers and take water from the ocean. If technology gets better maybe we can find a way to make desalinization cleaner and less energy consuming. We have to choose the option that is the best for now. aquifers, lakes, rivers are drying up. We should get all of our water from the ocean and use our waste water for agriculture after being treated of course.
They aren't keeping the extra salt? I hope the crustaceans like salt.
?! I thought we been drink water out the ocean!
investigate weather control,modification, engineering the cause of California's drought.
THEY PUT THE FUCKING SALT BACK?!?! Oh god, we're fucking doomed. I had hoped they wouldn't open the plant until they at least figured out what to do with the salt, but I see they're taking the attitude *that fricken got us here in the first place*.
Wonder where that uranium is coming from then...

+IvanPlayStation4LiFe i don't understand what you are trying to say what did i steel you're thunder is that what you ment.
build a machine that you put shit water in and turn it into clean water someone give them a small loan of a million dollars to fund it.
This already exists, Bill Gates is helping to fund it and you can find a video of him drinking the water.
we are screwing ourselves
Wait... is the US pumping back the sewage water into the ocean instead of recycling it?
I think so
Yes
Wow, that's your problem right there. In Europe, most of the sewage water runs through water treatment plants and is pumped back into the system. So instead of building 3-4 of these recycling plants, they build one overly expensive, highly unefficient desaltification plant. Get your shit together :D
I tried telling these nitwits to expand the existing watersheds and capture the river water before they hit the ocean.Nobody listened
Leave it to the tree huggers to smear this helpful life saving solution for the drought in Cali
+Preem The Prince Not only have they been the only ones sounding the alarm bells on the drought (until all of a sudden the rich people can't water their lawns or wash their cars when they want), but they've also been saying all along that desalinization plants are generally not a good idea. Politicians have been the only ones flocking to this idea because it's the most politically 'safe' idea. It's cool, keep pumping the water out at absurd rates, we have a nifty new desal plant that serves a fraction of the people in this one city for an obscene price tag! No need to panic!
no comment
This is a waste of California's money!!!!
no its not its an investment
+weather Warfare awareness it's absolutely an investment.
