The whole area where I live is on rainwater. There are umpteen ways to clean water if it gets tainted - tip in 1 litre of peroxide (breaks down into water and oxygen), UV lights, filters, boil it, - or the simplest, trim trees away from your roof!!!!

    The supply of a commodity is one side of the story. The growing demand, i.e. growing population, is another. And so the ANC doles out grant upon grant, pushing more cash into the economy for which there is no production. This pushes up inflation so that the just announced grant of ZAR1000 will be worth the current ZAR350. within a year. On top of that, the ANC now wants to take us on the gold standard. My mind boggles at the implications.

    The cost of dealing with the impact of Climate Change will be much greater than the cost of dealing with the cause.
    We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Phase out coal power plants and replace them with wind and solar energy.
    Individuals, businesses and governments need to be educated about climate change and how they can reduce fossil fuel use.

    Living in Cape Town 41 years now. Sad about all the negative things that has happened since US funded and empowered the ANC. Now that the Cartels are exposed, and American and French are being chased out for the years of oppression, and and mining our resources for nothing, also loadshedding is much better. We get 2 hours every second day. Looking what is going on in other countries, weather, dollar collapse, WAR, millions of immigrants flooding over US border from Mexico, or as Elon Hersh wrote in yet another masterpiece, about how the Northstream pipeline was sobotagedwas by US. I think it is safe to say every country has their issues. Who do you think feeds Germany Gas😂. Start looking at your "Leaders" they are not dying in the War. Innocent families being slaughtered. Makes one sick to the stomach, o well not enough, then lets bomb the enemy and kill more innocent. Goodluck to those who follow your leaders and goodluck to those who are fighting the real what is wrong with this world. Be safe everyone.

    Now fix the problem, here's how.
    Install slow speed underwater turbines called Waterotors in any stream or river moving 2 to 5 miles an hour. Now use the electrical power they make to make water out of the air with Atmospheric water generators. The Waterotor will work in tidal areas, won't harm fish, can be moved if needed and work 24/7 unlike wind and solar. Using this idea on offshore platforms you can take advantage of 100% humidity just off the surface of the larger bodies of water to maximize Drinking Water Production. You make the power where you can and use it where needed. You need to think electricity can become drinking water and that wind, solar and Waterotors are the cleanest way to feed and water the World. Search TH-cam and see for yourself.
