According to Kiplinger's anonymous sources there have been advances in desalination technology. This will help out parched coastal cities that need additional supplies H2O. Next-generation water filtration equipment, enhanced chlorination systems and other big breakthroughs are in the process of being perfected and commercialized. This will result in a new wave of desalination plants in just a few years. It will affect Both U.S. and foreign coastal cities. Who expects to profit? DuPont, Dow Chemical, GE and other manufacturers. In the U.S. Calif. (no surprise there) and the Gulf Coast are likely to be large markets. According to Kiplinger there are currently eight plants in the works in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Overseas, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Japan, China and Australian cities such as Sydney and Perth are assessing the technology.
I wonder how much energy these new plants will consume. IOW, assuming CF/LENR technology takes a lot longer to evolve, how much will a gallon of desalinized water cost under the current energy paradigm. Hmmmm. I should check my mutual fund portfolios. I wonder how much DuPont, Dow Chemical, GE holdings I might have in them. Regardless of whether CF/LENR technology matures or not those companies are likely to prosper very well in the future.
