heres where a solar still would come in handy. the only drawback is you would have to scrape the mineral sediments out of the container every so often. if a survivalist can suck the water out of desert sand with a plastic bag, saltwater is childs play. ----- Original Message ----- From: Zeke Yewdall To: biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] 6 stroke motor
It's not so much peak water, as peak usueable water. If we want freshwater, the oceans are out (or at least expensive to turn into fresh water). That's the problem -- if areas become more arid and glaciers melt, even more of the earth's water will be locked up as saltwater.
