You could desalinate the water in the same process and kill two birds with one stone, creating water for consumption, irrigation, crops.

True, it gets kinda corrosive though, but there are coatings available that prevent that..Solar thermal is a complete no brainer in california..

[ShillBasher]

Well spotted, I see your bullshit sensors are well calibrated.

The amount of ignorance in this video and comment section absolutely blows my mind. It would be a shit stain on the university system if a single one of you idiots have a college degree.

Glennon is right. He is an expert in the field who actually researches what he does. Everyone with half a brain knows mass-produced solar power requires IMMENSE amounts of water.

Wake the fuck up or shut the fuck up.

These people are very powerful. While America eats crap through FOX propaganda machine. The crap which again, they supply, to suck more money.

America open your eyes. You have everything to be sustainable and not to waste your sons and daughters in Iraqs, so that some one can be richer.

Why wouldn't salinated water work in the system? It has a lower boiling point then desalinated water = MORE ENERGY

[ozwasp]

They are a good idea.... As long as there's sunlight.

They really need a power source which is constant for base load - such renewable types are hydroelectric and wave power.

Plenty of lawns in Australia too

[TheSilverbullet99]

Bravo! Water desalination is the future if only people open their eyes.

[rainstormaeroponics]

only in america would they try and plant grass and plants in a desert and live there lol

they cant be this stupid can they

and then moan about not having enough water
