I suppose I’m a left-of-center liberal who flirts w/ anarchism & libertarianism. Thr’s a lot of alt, electronic, exp’tal, & “world” music I like. I’m working on fan-fix-tion for The Handmaid’s Tale and Star Trek.

Texas indeed has been blessed with much sunlight to make solar energy quite viable. This includes solar hot water heaters, and many trees to grow with vigour and bio-filtrate.

particularly if you have lots of PVC cells to sell.

Is this all solar or just PVCs?

The higher the percentage, the greater the incentive.

They have 591 km of coastline.

lots of salt water + lots of solar energy = lots of desalinated water

my favourite scene of that movie is when that drill instructor got shot.

Presumably it's toxic mostly because of the concentration of salt.

If it can't be used—and up north salt is used in winter for roads—it can be cleaned a bit, diluted with more seawater and discharged back into the ocean.

((the brine of 1 mass unit of seawater that's been desalinated) + 20 units of regular seawater) ÷ 20 = 20 units of 5% saltier seawater discharged

What is their ratios-of-brine to seawater do they use?

My question isn't totally rhetorical: I'm but an pseudonymous person on the internet.

Also, I don't think it's an engineering problem as much as a political one.

We have to make the alternatives. As Lemmy is an alternative to reddit, PeerTube could be an alternative to YouTube.

Keep those, but find new ones elsewhere.
