The coming revolution shall rock the ortho world, killer app enabled

But, in the mean time, I follow-up on imperatives and solutions.

I responded to below e-mails and i quote self:

The coming revolution shall change ortho space per god's intention.

In the mean time, re imperatives and solutions, probable good news

I simply make two overarching observations, that, if true

(i) the of-course technological solution to a china imperative is then tee-ed up

(ii) engaging w/ the timely solution would mean 5x+ more to china than it would be to america given population, effects per GDP, shortages per needs, etc etc

One issue down, now we can focus instead on Cyprus, and try to discern what global Argentina might looked like, and whether it would happen after or before universal Zimbabwe.

That filter development could well represent a proverbial "disruptive technology" for a lot of industries

If that story is accurate, at the very least it would e.g. change the face of the oil & gas production industry wrt. how they utilize and then restore the groundwater supply

More bluntly, make the environmental contamination risks of drilling disappear for the NIMBY types, and you will be 95% of the way home in terms of being able to drill wherever the hell you want

SNIP:
(Reuters) - A defense contractor better known for building jet fighters and lethal missiles says it has found a way to slash the amount of energy needed to remove salt from seawater, potentially making it vastly cheaper to produce clean water at a time when scarcity has become a global security issue.

"It's 500 times thinner than the best filter on the market today and a thousand times stronger," said John Stetson, the engineer who has been working on the idea. "The energy that's required and the pressure that's required to filter salt is approximately 100 times less."
