Yeah, I've heard about Sam Kinison's extreme sense of humor before... real funny, it's too bad he died so young...The ultimate expression of that idea.

Our drinking water usually tasted like oil on ship (the lazy pukes used the same tank level stick for oil and water). We condensed steam from the ships engine boilers into water for drinking and for making DI cooling water for electrical equipment. The electronic equipment cooling water was much better than the drinking water so we had a tap off the transmitter/radar heat exchanger to get water for coffee (we did add a dash of salt for flavor).In vessels, sea water is heated under pressure, thus needing less temperature to boil. The resulting steam is condensed and the water coming out of it, after a chemical treatment is considered apt for the boilers. Water at that stage is not used for human consumption (drinking / cooking).
Those that tasted it, said that it had "too much taste" with added chemicals contributing to it.
I understand how terrible should be for you, but please, not enough reason for too many tequilas every day.More than 30 years ago I was a foreign exchange student and stayed in LaGrange, OH, for about a year.... I remember that the water coming out of the tap smelled awful, and I never drank from it, but I had to shower every day anyway ... so eventually I had to get used to it.
A few months after I came back home I received a letter from one of the friends that I had made up there... it contained a newspaper cutout with an article saying that a corpse dumped by the mafia two years before had been discovered in the town's water reservoir ... it had been found after one of their henchmen had confessed to the crime...

And people keep labeling chlorine an undesirable poison...There was a story in LA a few years ago similar to this.
The 'normal' water quality is so bad most people didn't even notice the difference.
Actually, the plant is about 30 miles north of San Diego and will be supplying water to Carlsbad, Vista, and San Marcos. I don't think any water will make it to the city of San Diego since there are 3 more communities between the city and Carlsbad. There would probably need to be 50 more plants just to meat the needs of San Diego county.The world's largest desalination plant is due to open next year in So Cal. With a $1BILLION price tag, it will supply a meager 7% of the water needs for the community it servers (San Diego) with nothing left over for agriculture. The math doesn't work out for processing and distributing water to make up for the 63 trillion gallon loss (as of August, last year) as a result of the current drought.
There is plenty of empty land for solar panels in Ca with mostly sunny days, no need to wait for fusion on earth, use the nice fusion reactor in the sky. For 30 billion we should be able to put a big dent in the Ca water problem right in their own backyard.Desalination will look like a more viable water source when we have fusion power to run it!
What? Cover all the land we use to grow your food? Or did you mean to put the solar panels on the hillsides?There is plenty of empty land for solar panels in Ca with mostly sunny days, no need to wait for fusion on earth, use the nice fusion reactor in the sky.
