Future wars ?? The Fight for Water
Isn’t it about time, apart from getting Nuclear Reactors online for our Electricity its about time our Government (whomsoever is in charge) start to consider Water Desalinization Plants on our coastline(s). As in Malta and a few other countries.
This water (after being De-saled) can be pumped directly to the corresponding water authority in that area and released into the current system. It can be used for Laundry, Showers / baths, washing cars etc… The water providers can just Bottle all of their natural water and sell it.
De-saled water direct to the supply system and Fresh water to be bottled and sold alongside the current 2Lt and 5Lt bottles. Or the 25Lt bottles for the hot / cold water dispensers.
Sure, its going to need commitment and loads of £££. But, in the long run it it as going to be needed or it could get more expensive and scarce.
Foxnwolf comments;
Whoever is in charge of our country, are needed to look to the future with regards to the requirements we all need to live reasonably.
Desalinized Water, Fresh Water, Vegetables, General Crops, Electricity, Gas, Oil, Nuclear, Solar panels for electricity (not so dependent on gas which we can still use and store).
URGENTLY NEEDED……Small independent UK manufacturers for everything from Socks to washing Machines and Cars to Furniture.
NOT FARMING OUR OWN INITIAL REQUIREMENTS / SUPPLY OUT TO OVERSEAS MANUFACTURERS / SUPPLIERS, OTHERWISE LIKE NOW, WE ALL HAVE ISSUES RE FUEL AND GRAIN. TWO OF THE MOST IMPORTANT (Water is No 1) ITEMS NEEDED FOR MOST OF OUR FOOD, HEATING and LIGHTING etc…
We must have home grown 50% to 75% so we can support ourselves the basic requirements, anything else required but not needed to maintain life can be negotiated imports from overseas like now. Any home grown surplus can be sold overseas but our own stocks must always be available for 3 to 5 years should the markets or wars start to dictate day to day living.
This would improve employment drastically, pay people more than just a living wage. No excuse for people to be unemployed. Scrap UC payments, the government to pay everyone over the age of 18 years, £10,000 a year whether working or not (including current disability payments).
This money would be spent daily (or banked for spending later) and pumped back into the system therefore increasing our own manufacturing output and generally a more productive / happier population who can afford more and have purchasing power…
Think about this in its various forms…
