Seawater and sunlight

Here's a funny thing about the water shortage problem: water is the most abundant substance on Earth. More than 70% of the planet is covered by water thousands of feet deep.

Of course most of this is salt water.

Question: is there an economically feasible and environmentally friendly way to remove the salt from seawater and make it safe for human use?

Answer: Yes. Solar desalination appears to be the answer. Research over the last couple of decades has shown that it works.

One project found that a $500,000 plant could supply more than 5,000 liters of fresh water per day for an estimated cost of $0.02/liter: http://www.iit.edu/~ipro304es02/ResultsConcl.html

This price was considered prohibitively expensive in comparison with existing US municipal water rates, but design enhancements may improve efficiency, and a higher price for water still trumps dying of thirst.

The idea is a relatively simple one. Parabolic reflectors capture and concentrate sunlight that is used to heat seawater. The hot water is sprayed into the top of an "evaporator" or "cooling tower." Dry air is pumped up the tower as the water droplets fall down, evaporating the water. The water vapor flows into a condenser and the salt and other particulates fall to the bottom of the evaporator. See a basic schematic here: http://www.iit.edu/~ipro304es02/Create.html

Another type of solar powered desalination is the "membrane distillation" model. This plant may actually return surplus energy to the grid. See this pdf document for details: http://turl.stuff4world.com/?solar_desalination

The US is spending an estimated $250,000,000 per day on the war in Iraq. If we could divert just one day's outlay of Iraq war funds, we could finance the construction of 500 solar seawater desalination projects. What if we appropriate a week's Iraq funds? We could build desalination plants in coastal areas all over the planet and connect them to population centers with pipelines.

Why don't we...?

We can feed, clothe, and house everyone on Earth with currently available technology. We can insure that every Earth Citizen has adequate medical care and education. We can accomplish all this without depriving anyone of the comforts of modern civilized life.

We live in an age of unprecedented abundance. We can build automated industries that can free us all from the need for daily toil. We can build high-rise solar-powered hydroponic food factories in the inner cities that can produce enough food to meet the needs of entire communities. We can build seawater desalinization plants and irrigate the deserts of the world into fertile farmlands. We can tap the virtually unlimited raw materials of the solar system and expand human living space by a factor of infinity.

Why don’t we?

Who is holding us back from a just, humane, ecologically sound society on Earth and a future among the stars? Why does an elite ruling class, less that 10% of Earth’s population, own and control more than 90% of Earth’s resources -- the common inheritance of all sentient beings? Why are they wasting our wealth on military madness while billions of us suffer for want of the necessities of life?

We can create a better life for all Earth citizens.

Why don’t we?
