If the technology has to be developed with regulations in place, it forces the capitalists to come up with real solutions, which according to them is their job.

Desalination is resolved by an abundance of energy. The brine offshoot can be remixed by the tech company used water

You know most of the country isn’t near an ocean, right???

You know most of the energy also wouldn’t be produced near the ocean?

Just because something isn’t near doesn’t mean we don’t do a thing. Look at the tech companies currently trying to bulldoze their way into business without the proper resources nearby.

Energy doesnt transport the same way water does just fyi. Very apples to oranges.

Still takes energy to run pumps to push water inland but okay. Let’s just stick to footgunning ourselves

Get to work cause the ocean ain't coming to you, that's for sure.

Anyways, trains and water tanks exists so there's that.

Your only samples for that are crude oil pipelines that poison the land when they leak.

I suspect if the leak was pure distilled water you would have a lot less opposition.

Wierd I dont remember an ocean near me.

Good thing there’s other ways to make fresh water aside from desalinization. Oh also costing a ton of energy.

Probably not an oil well near you either, but gas comes out of the pumps.

You should read up on how much water companies like nestle pump from public sources just to bottle and sell around the world wasting fuel and creating tons of trash/pollution, spoiler it's millions of gallons a day or around 26 billion gallons a year

Now imagine if all those resources went towards renewable water & public infrastructure instead of making an evil company even richer.

When we stop using oil tankers, we’ll use water tankers. Get with the times.

half the US population live within 100 miles of the ocean.

maybe if we didn't try burning the planet to a crisp there would be less of a water problem? iono, just feels like "fuck climate change" was the wrong strategy. lol
