People Who Drink Alcohol Get Permanent Brain Damage. They Can't Even Tell When They Are Being Lied To... CON MEN LIKE tRUMP FIND THEM QUITE EASY TO FOOL...

Thankfully, When I was a Teenager We Had Marijuana and "Juicers" Were Scorned...  

In My Lifetime I Drank Very Little and NOW, at Age 67, I Have a Great Memory. Except for what happened in the Late 1990s When I Drank... But I Joined AA and Quit... EASY! I Found That the Cloud Lifted from My Mind... and I was Quite Happier.

Often I Have Conversations with Brain Damaged People and It's Obvious... Remember: It Takes Two To Make a Lie Effective. The Teller of the Lie and the Believer of the Lie. 

REFUSE TO BELIEVE tRUMP'S LIES.

"Water, Water All Around But Not a Drop to Drink." NO LONGER TRUE! Dramatic Engineering Improvements of Solar Powered Desalinization Plants have made turning Seawater into Drinking Water in VAST Quantities a Reality.

Useful for Watering Plants, Livestock, Taking Showers, Filling Swimming Pools, Lawns and Making Ice Cubes for your "Scotch on the Rocks" Beverage.  

Desalinization is The WAVE of the Future. For Example: We could build a GIANT freshwater plant in Camp Pendelton, USMC between San Diego and Los Angeles. Then Grow Square Miles of HEMP that absorbs Carbon Dioxide from the Air. Hemp is VERY EFFICIENT for Removing Greenhouse Gasses as it Grows Really Fast in Comparison to Trees. The hemp could then be sold to make FIBERBOARD useful in building Houses... or Medicine... or Rope... or Canvas... or Clothes... or Soap... or Paper... HEMP FOR VICTORY! It is possible to make HEMP PAPER Cartons for packaging FOOD at the Grocery Store. Currently we use plastic cartons to store single meal portions of Cheese, Fruit, Nuts, Yogurt and Crackers... Causing Vast Plastic Disposal Problems. It all just ends up in the Landfill...or on the street... or in the Ocean... ALL OF THAT could be replaced with HEMP. I recommend that "We the People" start behaving smart. Making single use plastic containers ONLY BENEFITS OIL COMPANIES. No one else. Plastic is made from OIL. Dupont invented it and is making a "Killing" on their idea... Of Course, their Idea is Killing the planet... BUT, WhatEVER... As Long as the Rich get Richer there is NO NEED to worry about Behaving MORALLY. The 1% is Making a Profit on OIL and PLASTIC and according to an insider report leaked to the press, They Don't Care About You. Really! Global Warming is NO Problem because all anyone has to Do is TURN UP THE AIR CONDITIONER... and The World Is Cool... and Smells Wonderful if you use an Air Freshener... and if the PEASANTS are Choking on Polluted Air, drinking Polluted Water and Dying from HEAT... Well, to Quote Marie Antoinette: "Madame, the Peasants Have no Bread To Eat... Well, Let them Eat Cake!" - and then they got out the Guillotine... I really loved that Movie "The Scarlet Pimpernel" - Quote: "They Seek Him Here, They Seek Him There, Those Frenches Seek Him Everywhere... Be He in Heaven or Be He in (harumpf) That Damn Elusive Pimpernel!" - It was all about Smuggling Aristocrats Out of France to Safety... The Peasants Were Revolting... AND IT'S ABOUT TIME!

There has been a LOT of Groundbreaking Engineering into building Desalinization Plants that use Solar Power to Pump the Seawater out of the Ocean...

The big breakthru in Solar Desalinization is to use MEMBRANE purification and Pump the Water using Electricity generated by Solar Cells. Everyone is familiar with Membrane water purification because there is a Machine out on the Sidewalk in front of the Grocery Store that sells Gallons of Freshwater. Bring your own 5 Gallon Container and Fill it UP! We have obvious technology to Build Desalinization Plants All over the World to Water Crops. By definition, the Ocean is at a Lower Elevation than the Land... and so there is a big need for pumping saltwater uphill to the Farm. 

NETAFIM Corporation is designing Water systems for Israel so they can grow more food using Less Water. Including Prickly Pear Cactus... Who Knew that there was a market for Prickly Pears... I tried to eat one when I was Camping Out near La Jolla and Gave up because it was just to difficult to pull out the Spikes... However, they have a Machine that does that Job.

Alternatives to LAWNS: Clover... or Decorative rock and cactus gardens that don't use any water. Southern California is a dry climate. Why import water from the North?

http://cloverlawn.org/

clover as an eco-friendly lawn alternative

There is a plan to build tunnels to transport fresh water from the Sacramento River Delta area to Los Angeles. It will cost billions of dollars and will permanently change the ecology of the River killing off the Salmon. A simpler plan would be to reduce the DEMAND for water. Make LAWNS unpopular with homeowners in SoCal. Why fight nature?

Trump wants to expand fracking in California causing drinking water to be polluted... Trump=Evil... Please Share this Post with your Republican Friends as Their Own Children Drink Water... A Vote for Trump is a Vote For Death... and it's NOT Just California... Trump Wants to Frack ALL OVER THE WEST...

The Trump administration last Thursday released a plan to open up more than a million acres of public and private land to hydraulic fracturing in California. The lands being targeted cover several Central California counties including eastern Fresno, western Kern, Kings, Madera, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura. 

California has had a 5-year fracking moratorium on federal land after a judge ruled for a pause in operations to better study the health and environmental impacts. As it already stands California's central valley has some of the worst air quality in the state. The plan is expected to be blocked by lawsuits that environmental groups are already readying.

HOW TO BUILD A SOLAR-POWERED WATER PURIFIER
BOOK: Solar Power Your Home For Dummies, 2nd Edition
By Rik DeGunther

Using the sun to purify drinking water is a great solar project for the do-it-yourselfer. A solar-powered purification system the size of a microwave oven can yield up to 3 gallons of purified drinking water on a sunny day.

HEADLINE: Standalone system to produce drinking water via solar energy
by Asociacion RUVID

Researchers from the University of Alicante's research group in applied electrochemistry and electrocatalysis have developed a standalone system for desalinating and treating water through electrodialysis. The system is directly powered by solar energy and can be applied in off-grid areas.

Designed only for desalinating water, it is a sustainable, eco-friendly technology powered by solar photovoltaic panels in a CO2-free process, thus not contributing to climate change.

Solar technology could drive down the cost of removing salt from seawater.

https://www.popsci.com/thermal-water-desalination
Solar thermal desalination isn’t a particularly new or remarkable idea. Any enterprising fifth-grader can purify seawater with sunlight using parts found around the house. People have been doing it for centuries. The difference is that now experts want to do it cheaply and at scale. 

Seawater Desalinization using a "Graphene Sieve" could be a game changer on Lack of Drinking Water Worldwide.

Graphene-based sieve turns seawater into drinking water.
A UK-based team of researchers has created a graphene-based sieve capable of removing salt from seawater.

The sought-after development could aid the millions of people without ready access to clean drinking water.

The promising graphene oxide sieve could be highly efficient at filtering salts, and will now be tested against existing desalination membranes.

It has previously been difficult to manufacture graphene-based barriers on an industrial scale.

Reporting their results in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists from the University of Manchester, led by Dr Rahul Nair, show how they solved some of the challenges by using a chemical derivative called graphene oxide.

EPA hides report about pollution in drinking water. Proof Pruitt does not care about the PEOPLE of the USA, only Corporate Profits.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is facing a new controversy over chemical contamination that could prove even more damaging than his spate of recent ethics scandals.

When Pruitt returns to Capitol Hill Wednesday, he will likely be asked to explain why EPA helped to bury a federal study that would have increased warnings about toxic chemicals found in hundreds of water supplies across the country. A handful of Republicans were quick to demand answers after POLITICO reported Monday that senior aides to Pruitt intervened after the White House warned of a "public relations nightmare" from the impending Health and Human Services Department assessment.

I Oppose shipping Water from the Trinity River to Los Angeles. - (Part of the Delta Tunnel Project) Why Not use Solar Power to Desalinate Seawater?

As hard as it to believe, there is a plan to use pipes to move freshwater from the Trinity Alps near Redding, California and provide drinking water to LA...

The problem with that is SALMON need that water to spawn in. The Trinity merges with Oregon's Klamath river and flows to the sea. Fishermen from around the world travel to the Klamath to go Fly-Fishing. There is a large business providing motel rooms, food and river guides to the tourists.

An alternative would be to Desalinate the ocean water near San Diego. A Solar system could boil the water and produce pure H2O, Salt and Electricity... Everybody Wins!

E.P.A. Moves to Rescind Contested Water Pollution Regulation. Trump supports more pollution of drinking water to boost corporate profits.

The Trump administration on Tuesday took a major legal step toward repealing a bitterly contested Obama-era regulation designed to limit pollution in about 60 percent of the nation’s bodies of water.
