Trump should build desalinization plants near major cities on the west and east coast ... JFK's idea!
“Anyone who can solve the problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel prizes—one for peace and one for science.” – President John F. Kennedy, 1962

“If we could produce fresh water from salt water at a low cost, that would indeed be a great service to humanity, and would dwarf any other scientific accomplishment.” President John F. Kennedy, 1962.

In the 1960s the John Kennedy administration and the US Congress not only put on the table an aggressive policy of building nuclear desalination plants, but the Congress also passed and allocated the funds to build them. Unfortunately, with the death of that President, the program slowly died over the next decade. - See more at: [link to ansnuclearcafe.org]

We have a massive desalination plant in El Paso, they still screw us and scam us over water reclamation and efficiency taxes.

That's not the desalinization plant's fault. Just crooked politicians.

Trump's people should reach out to Manoj Bhargava, the gentleman in Michigan who is saying he's putting his millions in profit over his popular energy drink to good use in hiring the best to solve some of the world's biggest problems.

One being the utilization of huge tankers that desalinate at sea and pump fresh water to plants on shore. There's a great video on this project and many others he is tackling.
And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm

My point exactly, recently we discovered one of the largest underground fresh water aquifers in the world in our region. My water bill just keeps going up up up so they could build a new water reclamation site.

They scammed everyone in our region with the latest "save water, we're in an apocalyptic drought like California" scam and for the past 20 years everyone has been xero-scaping their lawns, so now hardly anyone has any grass lawns, just shitty rocks and cactus. I'm one of the few who kept my grass, my water bill is over $130 per month now. Absolutely pathetic, I hate the leftist retards who just follow along with whatever the stupid politicos designate as the proper actions to "save the environment".

UGHHHHHHH I am angry at leftards. My "waste-water treatment" portion of the bill is about 85% of the cost of "fresh water".

The west coast was given plenty of money to do just that and they pissed it away buying votes and bullshit.

Build pipelines from the north to the south.

Like this:

"The North American Water and Power Alliance, is a proposed continental water management scheme conceived in the 1950s by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The planners envisioned diverting water from some rivers in Alaska south through Canada via the Rocky Mountain Trench and other routes to the US and would involve 369 separate construction projects."

The chinese are doing similar all over the place:

"The South–North Water Transfer Project, is a multi-decade infrastructure mega-project in the People's Republic of China. Ultimately it aims to channel 44.8 billion cubic meters of fresh water annually from the Yangtze River in southern China to the more arid and industrialized north through three canal systems"

There's plenty of water out here in California now that Trump and the White Hats have taken control of HAARP and stopped the artificial drought.

question: why don't they use solar power for desalination of sea water?

the energy from the Sun comes for free...

so, why not?

Re: Trump should build desalinization plants near major cities on the west and east coast ... JFK's idea!
I've been thinking about that for a while. they've been experimenting on the texas coast for the last few years with tidal ram pumps to pump water inland. From what I've read most plants in the middle east dump their salt back into the sea after the process, causing fish kills & too salty sea for mile around the discharge. Why not put the salt in tankers or barges & distribute it in arctic to lower the water temp. They've been saying that the melting ice is dumping to much fresh water & reducing the salt concentration & is making the ice melt from the bottom at a faster rate. The extra salt might restore the salt concentration level Making the ice melt at a slower rate, like a big hand turn ice cream freezer. Seems much better of an idea than dumping it near by. The heavy metals & pollution could be removed before piping to users, thus helping to clean our oceans & bays of all the bad stuff. That's just what I think
