No, its a political problem because it is a money issue not a technology issue.
We can have infinite water if we have nuclear powered reactors running massive desalination plants on the coasts with big pumps pushing it through huge pipes to anywhere you need it.
At the minimum -
- But we can't get past political opposition to nuclear power
- Not in my bad yard! (Desalination plant * nuclear)
- Who is forced to have the pipe run under their home (plus eminent domain issues)
- Are the states paying for it? The federal government?
- Why should I subsidize the people living in the dessert?
