Just bought my wife a Genesis GV70 for mother's day. 370hp. Went with forest green to help with environment. Might go EV next time.



What possible reason is there to post a giant photo of the shiny new car you bought your wife except to brag for attention.


It’s just a Hyundai with fancier leather, different plastic trim, and extra sound insulation.




Woke!

Desal cost a lot more than well water or surface water. Like 10x more.

What did they do with the concentrated minerals left over from the desalinization process?




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Goat,

Sounds like a way more serious response than just rearranging the deck chairs is required! Perhaps a cruse missile or two into a few coal loading & offloading facilities to underscore that there are just 5 years until the end of the world.

Oh, that’s right there’s a coal shipping facility right here in Long Beach CA. Imagine that! California could shut it down in minutes. No cruse missile required!

I think they were flushed back into the sea This is Baja not So Cal
We're not talking millions of gallons here Probably less than 10,000/day

A desal plant that only produces less than 10,000 gal./day would really only be useful for a very small community of people or as back-up if wells were running low.
Average water usage per person per day is 60 gallons. Of course, some people are much more conservative with water than others. And that stat is for the US- Mexicans are probably far more frugal with water than Americans, because they know that water gushing out of the tap 24/7 isn't something they can rely on. But if we go by 60 gallons per day/person, 10,000 gallons would provide enough water for 166 people for 1 day.

BLAME IT ON A GRINGO BAJA NOMAD!

Mexico plans to ban solar geoengineering after rogue experiment
A US startup carried out a geoengineering experiment in Mexico, which the country claims was done without prior notice and consent
https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/how-two-weather...

MEXICO CITY, March 27 (Reuters) - On an April day, the founder of a U.S. startup called Make Sunsets stood outside a camper van in Mexico’s Baja California and released two weather balloons containing sulfur dioxide into the air, letting them float towards the stratosphere.

Entrepreneur Luke Iseman said the sulfur dioxide in the balloons would deflect sunlight and cool the atmosphere, a controversial climate strategy known as solar geoengineering. Mexico said the launch violated its national sovereignty.

Iseman, 39, said he does not know what happened to the balloons. But the unauthorized release, which became public in January, has already had an impact: setting off a series of responses that could set the rules for future study of geoengineering, especially by private companies, in Mexico and around the world.

Iseman told Reuters in an email he chose Mexico because "most researchers report that particles launched into the stratosphere near the tropics will create more cooling by staying up longer." Also, he had a truck and camper in Baja and thinks the region is beautiful, he wrote.




Woke!

sulfur dioxide plus water yields sulfuric acid
