Max Could you not say the same thing about large cities as they grow rapidly. The only exeption I might think about nothing comes for free and every thing is inter related is solar. I could very well be wrong but what would you loose or change with the use of solar.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Max Robinson Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 11:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Making Water from thin Air The amount of water isn't really unlimited. That water isn't being manufactured, it has to come out of the air. If done on a very large scale it would dry the air and reduce rainfall in the local area. There are studies that suggest large wind farms are taking so much energy out of the wind the local climate is being effected. Everything is interrelated and nothing comes for free. Regards. Max.
