Two ways to solve water crisis.

Both involve space based solar power. The first would be to adopt massive desalination projects and use the energy from SBSP. The second, and more attractive solution, would be to use massive atmospheric water generation to power atmospheric water generation plants which convert water from the hydrosphere into water suitable for groundwater that could produce a billion gallons of water a day.

Thoughts on mitigating water issues.

I used to be like the majority of people who thought water was never a serious issue because the earth is a water planet. I was seriously wrong. What we are abundantly is a salt-water planet. Seeing as we are fresh-water consuming beings, we do have a big problem. Here in the United States and across the globe, we are running out of fresh water.

For nuclear to be sustainable, it will have to recycle the water.

Recycling powerplant steam instead of wasting it.

I am confused. I don't understand why steam power plants like these must let all that steam go into the atmosphere instead of capturing, condensing, and indefinitely recycling it.













It would seem to make sense to me that from a water standpoint, in conditions such as we are in with water so scarce that you would want to send the water through the steam turbine and then condense and repeat the process all over again.
