    Solar thermal-powered desalinization FTW.

    This is from the UNESCO World Water Assessment Program. www.unesco.org/water/wwap/

    Unfortunately, deuce, photovoltaic conversion is still really inefficient. 30% is currently the highest efficiency rate. I say we level Utah and use it for solar and wind.

    plus, it’s friggin expensive. Sydney gov. was/is thinking about building one, which would cost $30 million. And yeah, solar-powered plants are much more inefficient

    “photovoltaic conversion is still really inefficient”
    You can use solar power in ways other than PV. The largest solar plant in the world is not PV.

    A section dedicated to canada should be in there. We have a very large portion of fresh water available. I can’t wait to see it exported like oil to the OPEC countries. Oh sweet Irony.

    er…. solar thermal power != photovoltaic power

    MCS took out the other not-equals sign I tried to use.

    Plants&animals don’t belong to the freshwater category, they contain about 1% salt.
