When life give you rising ocean levels . . .
So I’m reading the Daily Herald, I think it was June 23. I see one headline that reads, “Drought covers 70 percent of Illinois.” And right next to it in the adjacent column is another headline that reads, “Study says ocean levels could rise nearly a foot at California coast.”
Am I the only one who sees an opportunity here? Build massive desalination plants on the California coast, pump the rising ocean level into towns and farms that need the water to solve the drought problem, pay for the whole thing by selling the water like any town would. Two problems solved in a huge win-win! Your welcome.
