The world will reach "Peak Water" before we reach "Peak Oil." Water desalination is a highly energy-intensive process. San Diego and dozens of cities around the world are building large desalination plants that will consume massive amounts of energy. Building dirty power plants to power the production of clean water is dysfunctional. This video, from Tony Seba's Stanford University course "Clean Energy Market and Investment Opportunities" (http://tonyseba.com/master-courses/clean-energy-market-and-investment-opportunities/) talks about how San Diego can use solar energy to power its desalination plants in a clean and sustainable way.
