btw anyone here know anyone in the OMB–tell them to let all water research projects go through. Water membrane research especially is about 5-7 years behind solar cell research but with good funding it can catch up. I’ve already seen DARPA funding for the coolest membranes.The results of water desalination research will be just as stunning as the dirt cheap solar cells produced by nanosolar. The effect of cheap solar panels and cheap water desalination & transport will be that the deserts of the world will be turned green and the habitable size of planet doubled.
