Water We Thinking


The coastal commission has denied non profit companies from turning power plants into desalinisation treatment plants along the coast. By doing this, the commission would dramatically decrease pollution and increase the production of purified water with existing structures. At no cost to tax payers, this would turn salt water into drinking water for free. The governor should definitely allow this project and see where it goes. According to scientists "an estimated 7 million Americans become sick from contaminated tap water every year, which can also be lethal." The clean water project seems to be relatively risk-free and along with improving the health of the people in America, it may even give us the opportunity in America to help with the growing problem of unhealthy water in third world countries. We would be able to cheaply produce clean water and then send it overseas.
